Information and redundancy: key concepts in understanding the genetic control of health and intelligence.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Aug 1999

Morris J A

Abstract excerpt

A model is proposed in which information from the environment is analysed by complex biological decision-making systems which are highly redundant. A correct response is intelligent behaviour which preserves health; incorrect responses lead to disease. Mutations in genes which code for the redundant systems will accumulate in the genome and impair decision-making. The number of mutant genes will depend upon a...
