This book is the study of all codes of life with the standard
methods of science. The genetic code and the codes of culture have
been known for a long time and represent the historical foundation
of this book. What is really new in this field is the study of all
codes that came after the genetic code and before the codes of
culture. The existence of these organic codes, however, is not only
a major experimental fact. It is one of those facts that have
extraordinary theoretical implications. The first is that most
events of macroevolution were associated with the origin of new
organic codes, and this gives us a completely new reconstruction of
the history of life. The second implication is that codes involve
meaning and we need therefore to introduce in biology not only the
concept of information but also the concept of biological meaning.
The third theoretical implication comes from the fact that the
organic codes have been highly conserved in evolution, which means
that they are the greatest invariants of life. The study of the
organic codes, in short, is bringing to light new mechanisms that
have operated in the history of life and new fundamental concepts
in biology.
