| Summary |
Building on a range of disciplines??? from biology and anthropology to philosophy and linguistics??? this book draws on the expertise of leading names in the study of organic, mental and cultural codes brought together by the emerging discipline of biosemiotics. The book??'s 18 chapters present a range of experimental evidence which suggests that the genetic code was only the first in a long series of organic codes, and that it has been the appearance of new codes??? organic, mental and cultural??? that paved the way for the major transitions in the history of life.
