Consciousness is the key to understanding human existence. Many have attempted to determine the fundamental nature of consciousness based on deductive reasoning. In contrast to that, Consciousness-Based Evolution has exploited empiric evidence for the evolution of physiology from the unicell to man based on cell-cell communication as the origin of consciousness, each intermediary step representing an innate effort to maintain homeostasis by harnessing the energy flow initiated by The Big Bang. By tracing vertebrate evolution as development and phylogeny, focusing on specific emergent steps using a Bayesian approach, individual traits can be seen as exaptations of earlier ways in which existential threats were resolved over the course of evolution. You, the readers, are the beneficiary of those insights.

John S. Torday is a Developmental Physiologist. He received his Master’s (1971) and PhD (1974) degrees from McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He subsequently received Post-Doctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Reproductive Biology (1976). He has previously been on the faculty at Harvard Medical School (1976-91) and the University of Maryland (1991-98), and is currently on the University of California-Los Angeles faculty (1998-present). He is the Director of the Henry L. Guenther Laboratory for Cell-Molecular Biology, Harbor-UCLA. He has been independently funded as a biomedical researcher for 50 years, focused on lung development, having published more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific articles. Upon further reflection, he has devised a novel theory of evolution based on physiology over the last 25 years, having published 9 monographs on the subject.
