505 0 |a Introduction -- Part I: The Skeleton - the Primary Structure that Sets Vertebrates Apart - is an Evasive Structure -- Well-Defined Geometric Patterns Appeared in Animal Evolution Independently of the Skeleton -- Astonishing Gene Permanence throughout Vertebrates and the Origin of the Skeleton -- Some of the Most Important External Organs in Mammals have no Skeleton -- Body Geometry Follows the Skeleton only Partially -- Part II: The Geometry of the Vertebrate Body Takes the Form of Parallel Stripes and Concentric Circles which are the Products of Molecular Cascades -- Longitudinal and Transversal Stripes in Vertebrates -- The Geometric Patterns of Zebras and of Transgenic Mice are Directed by Specific Genes - the Geometry of Mammals Becomes Also Molecular -- The Eye - a Main Center of Circularity with Implications for Development and Evolution -- The Circularity of the Vertebrate Body -- Concentric Circles are a General Feature of Vertebrates -- Two Poles of Circularity: Head-Neck and Rump -- Part III: Geometry - an Obsession of the Animal and Human Minds -- Science from its Onset to the Present has been Pervaded by Geometry -- Spirals Produced by Inert Matter as well as by Spiders and Humans -- Hexagons Formed by Molecules and by the Minds of Wasps and Humans -- Part IV: The Mind Consists of the Same Matter that has Displayed Order and Coherence throughout its Evolution -- It may Sound Outrageous but the Human Condition Appears to be Anchored in the Organization of Galaxies -- The Evolution of Matter is Characterized by Geometry and Permanence -- Self-Assembly - the Primary Source of Coherence -- Part V: The Brain has its Own Geometry and is Able to Change the Body’s Geometry in Seconds -- The Presence of Chromosomes is not Obligatory for Brain Function Brain, Eye, Blood and Skin Cells Work Efficiently without a Nucleus -- The Ordered Origin of the Brain -- The Brain Turns Out to have its Own Geometry -- Left and Right Side, of the Body and of the Brain, are not Mirror Images and Behave Independently -- How the Brain Changes the Body Geometry at Will -- Part VI: The Brain is an Unreliable Magician -- The Concept of Soul Became Evident Following the Agricultural Revolution 8,000 B.C -- How it Changed Since Then -- Brain Imagery - Visual Perception of Form, Color and Motion -- The Dream - Another Form of Brain Imagery -- Plato had no Electron Microscope - Molecular Geometry Reverses his Concept of Reality.
