A review of Johnjoe McFadden's book ``Quantum Evolution''
Abstract
Description
In ``Quantum Evolution: Life in the Multiverse'' (HarperCollins, 2000), ISBN 0-00-255948-X, 0-00-655128-9, Johnjoe McFadden makes far-reaching claims for the importance of quantum physics in the solution of problems in biological science. In this review, I discuss the relevance of unitary wavefunction dynamics to biological systems, analyse the inverse quantum Zeno effect, and argue that McFadden's use of quantum theory is deeply flawed.
