- Symmetry-breaking and Molecular Evolution
- Explores the structural relationship between cosmological symmetry-breaking and the form of molecular evolution leading to biological systems on Earth. It thus forms an alternative to historical hypotheses in which the form of biogenesis is believed to be the product of a linked sequence of specific conditions, bridged by stochastic selection processes.
- Animal Emergence During Snowball Earths by Thermosynthesis in Submarine Hydrothermal Vents - Paper by Anthonie W J Muller proposing a theory that organisms can use or may have used thermal cycling as an energy source, for example in volcanic hot springs, as an evolutionary step towards photosynthesis.

- Furies in the Genome - Downloadable book asserting that the struggle for existence (Darwinian competition) causes both genetic variation and natural selection.
- History of Molecular Evolution - Information from Wikipedia on the emergence of this field of study following the rise of molecular biology and the advent of protein sequencing. The differences between homologous sequences can be used as a molecular clock to estimate the time since the last common ancestor.
