This study outlines a unified evolutionary sequence, from the Big Bang to society, driven by internally limited phenomena, not random chance. It details the progression from prebiotic matter and protocells to the evolving cell, mind, and social structures.

Area of Science:

  • Origin of Life studies
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Existing models of evolution often rely on random processes like random matrix theory and random mutation.
  • Observations suggest internally limited phenomena play a crucial role in evolutionary trajectories.
  • A unified framework for understanding the progression of complexity is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To infer a unified evolutionary sequence guided by experimental and observational data.
  • To propose a model that accounts for internally limited phenomena in evolution.
  • To trace the evolutionary path from the universe's origin to complex social structures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of experimental and observational data indicating internally limited phenomena.
Keywords:

  • Inference of a sequential evolutionary pathway.
  • Comparative analysis with models based on random processes.

    • Main Results:

    • A unified evolutionary sequence is inferred, distinct from random matrix and random mutation models.
    • The sequence progresses from the Big Bang through key stages: prebiotic matter, protocells, evolving cells (via molecular and natural selection), mind, behavior, and society.
    • Internally limited phenomena provide a basis for this non-random evolutionary progression.

    Conclusions:

    • Evolutionary processes can be understood within a unified sequence driven by internal limitations, not solely by randomness.
    • This framework offers a new perspective on the emergence of complexity from the Big Bang to societal structures.
    • Further research can explore the specific mechanisms of internally limited phenomena at each evolutionary stage.
