Here is a new book that supports Adler, but taking an exacting look on the scientific studies of the great apes,etc.

> The jump in cognition from ape to human is one of the major reasons I think there is a greater power. Another leg is the enormous complexity of living biochemistry and how DNA as an underlying code is used. In a sense DNA is simple compared to the molecular dance around it.

In biomedical engineering, to create "microbe-free" surfaces, they manipulate the molecular surface to create a fractal pattern that microbes can't adhere to, a very "mountainous" surface is actually much better than a perfectly smooth surface. Fractal structures in nature (all of it, not just life) are so common that this paper doesn't exactly tell me anything new at all, except that a couple of biochemists applied a biomedical engineering principle to the cell's nucleus. -In the grander scope, I know your implicit question is "How did this evolve by chance?" -My answer of course, is that we don't know how it evolved at all, so we can't beg the question as you are doing.
