  The Knowledge Gene

  Over 500,000 years ago, a single gene mutated. It spread over time, becoming critical in the journey transforming our earliest ancestors into fully modern humans, capable of navigating the entire planet and beyond. Then just a few thousand years ago, humans gradually outsourced knowledge to writing, and we displaced art and music from the heart of learning. 
   
  This is the extraordinary story of the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human. Dr Lynne Kelly recounts how a widespread congenital disorder was the critical clue she and her collaborators needed to identify the gene that has long eluded researchers into human cognition. 
   
  The knowledge gene supercharged our ability to learn and share knowledge with others, explaining the prodigious memories of Indigenous people the world over. The discovery of the knowledge gene unlocks many other puzzles too. It explains for the first time why humans are the only species to make art, offers new insights into the earliest music and storytelling, and into the cognitive strengths of neurodivergent people. 
   
  The Knowledge Gene shows that we can all access the full power of our memories, without giving up any of the advantages of writing and technology. The implications for learning and creativity at any age are profound.

  In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

  Biochemical engineering integrates the principles of biology, chemistry, and engineering to develop processes for the large-scale production of valuable biochemicals. This interdisciplinary field plays a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, and environmental engineering. 
    
  One of the fundamental aspects of biochemical engineering is fermentation, which involves the controlled growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi to produce desired compounds. These microorganisms can be genetically engineered or selected for their ability to synthesize specific products, such as antibiotics, vitamins, or biofuels. 
    
  Biocatalysis is another key area within biochemical engineering, focusing on the use of enzymes or whole cells to catalyze chemical reactions. By harnessing the specificity and efficiency of biological catalysts, biocatalysis offers environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for chemical synthesis and manufacturing processes. 
    
  Bioseparation techniques are essential for isolating and purifying target biomolecules from complex mixtures produced during fermentation or biocatalytic reactions. These techniques include filtration, chromatography, centrifugation, and membrane processes, which enable the recovery of high-purity products for further downstream processing.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  This is a divided and chaotic world. A world torn apart by greed and hatred. By desires that spread around the world like a disease. The stress of modern life pushes us further and further apart from each other and nature. 
   
  The simple fact is that we are destroying the planet upon which we rely for sustenance. Our chaotic minds form chaotic societies. Power and wealth are in the hands of the people who should not have them. We subconsciously know that we have screwed things up and yet we proceed to screw things up a little more with each passing generation. 
   
  We have forgotten the prime directive of the universe. We ignore its teachings. We fail to listen to its pleas. 
   
  The truth that will save you and all of mankind is very simple. It is the Universal Law of Attraction and it is time to listen and learn from it.
