The topic of this book is the nature of human beings as a community of thermodynamic, informational and genomics biological vincula. It is impossible to interrogate this topic without taking into account some underlying issues. What is a biological vinculum? How many kinds of biological vinculum is it possible to describe? Answering these questions requires clarification of specific pre-existing concepts surrounding life itself. Perhaps, the ancient question, "what is life?," will never find a definitive response. However, it seems that current answers to this question are different from those offered by classical Greek philosophers, scholastic monotheistic thinkers, or even biologists from four or five decades ago.
