Description: Goldman argues that human behavior, in all its complexity, is a consequence of prior synthesizing developments; each stage of development communicates patterns of information to the next; and survival is a consequence of such syntheses. Over the millennia, DNA has produced the genetic patterns that gave rise to the human species. Just as biochemical and physical patterns depend upon communication of information, so also do social behaviors - many of which are similar or have complementary patterns.
