The secrets of intelligence lie within a single cell - life - 26 April 2010 - New Scientist

The secrets of intelligence lie within a single cell - life - 26 April 2010 - New Scientist: "Molecular biology and genetics have driven the biosciences, but have not given us the miraculous new insights we were led to expect. From professional biologists to schoolchildren, people are concentrating on the minutiae of what goes on in the deepest recesses of the cell. For me, however, this misses out on life in the round: it is only when we look at the living cell as a whole organism that wonderful realities emerge that will alter our perception not only of how single cells enact their intricate lives but what we humans truly are."
