Publisher Description:
Journey of Life on Earth: Conversing with Dante in a Dream {2} is the middle part (Tale Two) of a fictional narrative poem in tercet stanza. It unfolds an imaginary conversation between two characters: A sincere heathen dreamer and the spirit of his revered poet, Dante (1265-1321), the author of the Divine Comedy, in a wondrous dream. The present work is a fictional conversation on the nature of life on Earth. This is not a scholarly academic work on the current researches in the biological sciences. Nevertheless, the author tried to unfold a sincere dialogue on the recent discoveries in the molecular biology of genome, the evolution of diverse organisms, the emergence of humankind, and the neuroscientific researches on the versatile functions of the brain. The dreamer's Tale Two consists of the following 17 episodes, each called Song (similar to the Dante's Canto). Song 1: The Beginning of Each Individual's Life. Song 2: The Early Dark Journey of Our Life. Song 3: Functional Structure of the Genome. Song 4: Enzymes Read and Use the Genetic Information. Song 5: Molecular Drama of Gene Expression. Song 6: Editing and Using the Genetic Information. Song 7: Spontaneous Changes of the Genome. Song 8: Evolution of Diverse Organisms on Earth. Song 9: Emergence of the Humankind. Song 10: Artistic Creativity of Early Humans. Song 11: Functional Organization of the Human Brain. Song 12: Neurons and their Functional Synaptic Networks. Song 13: Cognitive Functions of the Human Brain. Song 14: On Human Communication. Song 15: Emergence of Civilizations. Song 16: The Epic of Gilgamesh. Song 17: In search of Objective and Universal Principles of Nature.
