Print: $9.95 Download: $9.95 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 human molecule concept were developed in the early 20th century by those as Leon Walrus, Vilfredo Pareto, Henry Adams, and C. G. Darwin; and the first calculation of the molecular formula for a human being was made in 2000 by American limnologists Robert Sterner and James Elser. In modern terms, a person is defined as a 26-element reactionary molecule attached to substrate.
The implications of this new philosophy point the way to a revolution in thought in areas such as life, work, free will, reactivity, marriage, purpose, and evolution.

Print: $29.95 Download: $9.95 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, by German polymath Johann von Goethe, a chemical treatise on the origin of love. Goethe based his human chemistry on Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman’s 1775 chemistry textbook A Dissertation on Elective Attractions, which itself was founded on Isaac Newton’s 1687 supposition that the cause of chemical phenomena may ‘all depend upon certain forces by which the particles of bodies, by some causes hitherto unknown, are either mutually impelled towards each other, and cohere in regular figures, or are repelled and recede from one another’; which thus defines life.

Print: $29.95 Download: $9.95 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 evolution of the human chemical bond A≡B is the centerpiece of this process. The human bond is what gives (yields) and takes (absorbs) energy in life. The coupling of this bond energy, driven by periodic inputs of solar photons, thus triggering activation energies and entropies, connected to the dynamical work of life, is what quantifies the human reaction process. This is followed by topics including mental crystallization, template theory, LGBT chemistry, chemical potential, Le Chatelier’s principle, Müller dispersion forces, and human thermodynamics.
