Facing Biology’s Open Questions - BioEssays

Current biology has no shortage of unsolved fundamental problems, one in particular. In 1981, Rupert Sheldrake proposed the hypothesis of “formative causation� as a unifying organizing principle of life. But Sheldrake's ideas have remained largely untested. "Sheldrake’s case illustrates the conceptual resistance of the scientific enterprise to revise its own deepest theoretical commitments." But some research does seem to bear out the Sheldrake hypothesis: The Hill Effect as a Test for Morphic Resonance. Miroslav Hill, a cell biologist, made a very surprising discovery when he was Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Villejuif, France in the 1980s. He found that cell cultures derived from hamsters seemed to influence other similar cells at a distance. (PH)
