Ken Richardson has an article in the January 3, 2019, Nautilus titled “It’s the End of the Gene As We Know It.”  He makes the revolutionary argument that genes make proteins and that the proteins subsequently react with each other and RNA to produce specialized cells.  This article is on line at http://nautil.us/issue/68/context/its-the-end-of-the-gene-as-we-know-it .

 

Richardson was formerly Senior Lecturer in Human Development at the Open University (U.K.). He is the author of Genes, Brains and Human Potential: The Science and Ideology of Intelligence.
