Exploring the intersection of biology and meaning, this book presents biosemiotics as a framework that transcends traditional debates on human origins. It argues that understanding consciousness and life involves more than molecular interactions, emphasizing the role of sign action. By integrating linguistic capabilities with evolutionary processes, it offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between language and biology. This work is essential for those intrigued by the connections between linguistic potential and the essence of life.

Presents a journey through the universe of signs in search of how the natural world came to mean something to someone. This book shows that life at its most basic depends on the survival of messages, written in the code of DNA molecules, and on the tiny cell - the fertilized egg - that must interpret the message and from it construct an organism.
