Infectious Speciation

    1. Theory of Viral Eukaryogenesis (DNA Virus (Orthopoxvirus or T4 Bacteriophage) infects mycoplasma cell creating the first Earth cell with a Nucleus and Phagocytic properties) supported by findings of possible Transfer of DNA polymerases from DNA Viruses to Archaeukaryota Hosts., similarity in RNA capping enzymes, and separation of translation from transcription.

    2. The Syntrophic Hypothesis of the origin of mitochondria - Protoeukaryotic/mycoplasma like cells engulfed alpha proteobacteria like organisms to create a symbiotic relationship and resulting first mitochondrial eukaryote. Similar syntrophic events occured to generate chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and other novel intracellular organelles.

    3. More examples of " infectious speciation" -symbiotic and hybrid based evolution.

    4. Human endogenous retroviruses and the evolution of man.

    5. Hot Line 1 Elements and the chromosomal changes that have occurred since our common ancestor with Chimpanzees.

    6. Non-LTR retrotransposons (ie. Line 1 elements ) sense environmental and physiological factors resulting in increased "mutator" phenotype during periods of specific stresses.

    7. Transcription of Retrotransposons can be regulated by UV light, Heat pulses, Testosterone, and WIMPS ( Weakly interactive massive parrticles ).

    8. Polymorphic Human Hot Line-1 elements in relation to races.
