Review
"Mr. Graham, an avowed amateur scientist, has a bone to pick with evolutionists. He does not think that the theory of evolution itself explains the appearance of complex organisms such as people, although it is OK for simple things such as plants and colonial animals. I think I agree with him. Evolution 'by natural selection' does not explicitly seem to explain complexity (notwithstanding the eloquence of people such as Richard Dawkins.)... Graham [proposes] that diversification of differentiation mechanisms is the result of a defensive response to uncontrolled cell division. I, at least, like the idea." -- John W. Galloway, London's Nuffield Foundation, Nature, March 19, 1992.
"[Graham] quotes a plethora of research articles by experts in the various fields he taps, from Weinberg's work in cancer biology, to Ames' work in mutagens, Hayflick's work on human cells and aging, and on and on.... Graham's thesis is new, and it is meant to be thought provoking, a challenge to stir up the scientific community in the area of evolutionary thinking... It is a wonderful challenge in logical and scientific thinking, and the book is worthwhile for that alone." -- Lotte R. Geller, Roeper School for Gifted Students, The American Biology Teacher, May, 1993.
