这是我今天从arxiv上看到的一篇论文的题目：A quantum-theoretical approach to the phenomenon of directed mutations in bacteria

摘要：

The Darwinian paradigm of biological evolution is based on the separabilityof the variation and selection processes. As a result, the population thinkinghad always been an integral part of the Darwinian approach. I propose analternative scheme of biological adaptation. It is based on appreciation oflimits of what we can observe considering an individual biological object. Thisleads to a possibility for the adaptation process to occur on the level of asingle object, as a 'selection among virtual states of the organism'. I discussthe application of this idea to the phenomenon of adaptive mutations inbacteria.

另外，关于这个题目这位作者还写了一篇论文：arXiv:0704.0034,看起来他本来是准备投Nature的。我仔细的检索之后才发现，这篇论文早在10年前就发表了：Biosystems 43, 83 (1997),相关的文献还有：BioSystems 50, 203 (1999); BioSystems 78, 69 (2004)。面对这样的论文，我还能说什么呢？做理论研究关键就是敢想敢干。
