SUMMARY:Macro-evolution: A new model emerging from modern genome data\
 , Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\,  Periannan Senapathy\, Genome Inte
 rnational Corporation
DESCRIPTION:Origin of life is an unsolved phenomenon.  Charles Darwinâ
 €™s mechanism assumes a universal ancestor\, and elaborates the natura
 l selection model to show how this ancestor could have evolved into al
 l other organisms on earth\, thus leaving the question open.  While it
  has been known that natural selection mechanisms are able to clearly 
 explain the “micro-evolution" of an organism into its varieties (for
  example\, a crab into many different crab varieties)\, natural select
 ion is unable to explain how an organism\, such as a worm\, could evol
 ve into an entirely distinct organism such as a crab (termed "macro-ev
 olution").  In this context\, a theory formulated by Senapathy\, that 
 complex organisms could arise directly in prebiotic chemistry based on
  the easy origin of split genes in prebiotic random DNA\, offers an ex
 planation for macroevolution.  This model shows that the genomes of co
 mplex organisms based on split genes are easy to arise from prebiotic 
 chemistry\, whereas the genomes of the apparently "simple" bacterial o
 rganisms could not.  The implications of this model contrasting the co
 nventional model will be discussed.
