Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Biology - Evolution, , language: Modern Greek, abstract: This essay is a translation into Greek of the original text which was written in English. In half its length, it examines the necessary aspects of the evolution theory related to the assertions of the grey sexuality (non -binary, multi-gender, etc.) political, religious and scientific post- gnostic movement. It follows the classical views of Erwin Schrodinger, who by his wave equation, is basically responsible for modern biology; and the perspective of the population geneticist Masatoshi Nei. It also deals with the important views of Elliot Sober and Robert I. Richards regarding evolution and Darwin.The rest of the essay examines characteristics of the movement and views and circumstances involved that helped its ascendancy into one of the main ingredients and of the current political and intellectual mainstream. It thus discusses: the religious-like nature of the movement ; their perception for the creation of a new genos, a new genotype, a new genetic constitution which goes back to the middle eastern origins of populist Christianism; Darwin's religious like 'intelligent selector'; Darwin's view on the 'common ancestry' according to which lineages of different species faced no walls (no insuperable species boundaries) in their evolution; the (even) feign Lamarckism which is always present in the last 200 years; the Romanticism movement which culminate in the German 'Naturphilosophie';-and its continuation in the Artaman League; the pivotal role of Alexander von Humboldt, and his reliance on teleological and 'organic' metaphors ; the concept 'organic' which runs through Marxism; the non-scientific agenda (Franz Boas, Frankfurt School, critical theory, postmodernism) which took out all biological perspectives from the social sciences and replaced them with concepts of culture.All these attempts managed to absorb God plus a certain tribalism into the 'laws of nature' (despite their claims of trying to produce the exact opposite results) and thus annul the work of Greek thought and cripple logical precision. This attempt to alter the scientific thought which possibly took its final form in the 1950's -and produced the supernatural characteristics of today's genomic medicine; the holism and string theory pranks, etc. but also led (out of despair I suppose) good scientists like Gerard 't Hooft to try measure ontology mathematically are also discussed in this essay.
