With the advance of knowledge, the question of the 'existence of life', philosophically, physically, chemically, and thermodynamically, as come to be increasingly viewed as a defunct concept. In the 18th century, thinkers such as Denis Diderot and Baron Holbach grappled with the problem of how life can arise from atoms. The 19th century Goethe and John Tyndall grapple with how humans could have possibly evolved or morphed, reactively, over tim...

Human chemistry is the study of bond-forming and bond-breaking reactions between people and the structures they form. People often speak of having either good or bad chemistry together: whereby, according to consensus, the phenomenon of love is a chemical reaction. The new science of human chemistry is the study of these reactions. Historically, human chemistry was founded with the 1809 publication of the classic novella Elective Affinities, b...

Volume two begins with Goethe's theories of affinities, i.e. the chemical reaction view of human life in 1809. This is followed by the history of how the thermodynamic (1876) and quantum (1905) revolutions modernized chemistry such that affinity (the 'force' of reaction) is now viewed as a function of thermodynamic 'free energy' (reaction spontaneity) and quantum 'valency' (bond stabilities). The composition, energetic state, dynamics, and evo...

The Human Molecule traces the historical development of the conception of the human being as an individual 'molecule'. The question of what is a 'human' has passed down through the ages as an unsolved riddle of curiosity? In partial solution to this query, the term "human molecule, " as the definition of a person, was coined in 1869 by French philosopher Hippolyte Taine, the first rudimentary social, economic, and historical theories using the...
