modest. He stated his purpose clearly in Rule IV: "Method is necessary for discovering the truths of nature." Descartes devised a systematic approach for use in natural sciences and mathematics.

To some Reductionism is more than just saying time and again that something is nothing, rather something else. It is an approach and procedure that may deprive the human of humanness through reduction of the human phenomenon to dynamic terms. It is scientific deduction of the human phenomena through genetic terms.

• DNA and Memeology ~

  Our bodies are built of cells, about a hundred thousand billion of them. Divide a pinhead into two-millionths and you have the size of the nucleus of one cell. Yet no reputable biologist would ever claim to understand anything as complex. Go deeply into that nucleus of that one cell and you will find-ten atoms wide and a staggering two meters long—a spiral, a double helix. Amazing fact: all of those spirals, in total, in all of our cells, would be over a hundred thousand million miles long.(Narby)

  
  The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge
  
  The deoxyribonucleic acid strand-spirals (DNA) have just four bases—four fundamental pillars. Each of the four fundamental molecular pillars, or bases, is quite complex. Two of them—thymine (T)and cytosine(C)—are hexagonally shaped. The other two—adenine (A) and guanine(G), have a nine atom structure, with a hexagon placed next to a pentagon (Narby). The DNA molecule whirls with the protein thread of our chromosomes, turning a full circle every ten of these base pairs (Narby).

  Memes, unlike genes, pass too from related to unrelated humans. In a viral similarity Memes jump from human host mind to human host mind (i.e.: computer games, fashions, Internet trends, jokes, and urban myths). Memes team, like atoms, they bond to form molecules, they bond to form teams, groups, and social institutions. Standardization of dress is an adaptive Meme bonding and forming Molecular Memes (e.g., Preppies, Goths, Nerds, etc.). The spectacular increase in the human brain's size began 2.5 million years ago and reached the present volume, of 1350 cc, 100 000 years ago when Homo Sapiens-Sapiens was still quite primitive compared to modern man. Of all the various advantages of having a bigger brain that could have driven man's evolution, the ability to learn by imitating successful acts of other
