Nongenetic Information and Evolution

Capture a fresh perspective on evolution with Nongenetic Information and Evolution by Nelson R. Cabej. This thought-provoking volume challenges gene-centered narratives and illuminates how non-genetic factors—epigenetic marks, cellular architecture, maternal effects, and developmental processes—shape organisms and their evolutionary trajectories.

Dive into a clear, well-argued synthesis that bridges molecular biology, developmental biology, and evolutionary theory. Cabej guides readers through the mechanisms by which information beyond DNA can be encoded, transmitted, and acted upon across generations. Case studies and conceptual frameworks are presented with precision, making complex ideas accessible to both specialists and curious readers.

Ideal for evolutionary biologists, developmental scientists, advanced students, and intellectually curious professionals in life sciences, this book explains why non-genetic information matters for adaptation, diversification, and the interpretation of empirical data. Readers will gain practical insights to apply in research design, classroom discussion, or interdisciplinary study.

Whether you’re building a syllabus, expanding a research library, or exploring modern debates in biology, Nongenetic Information and Evolution equips you with rigorous analysis and a fresh vocabulary for understanding inheritance beyond genes. A valuable addition to collections across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, Cabej’s work invites rethinking foundational concepts while remaining grounded in scientific evidence.
