The Frozen Gene

THE END OF HUMAN EVOLUTION

If Probability Zero was the destruction of natural selection, THE FROZEN GENE is the obliteration of neutral theory and the Modern Synthesis

For decades, evolutionary biologists have escaped mathematical scrutiny by retreating into the deep time of “millions and billions” of years. They promised that given enough time, anything is possible. They were wrong. In this definitive follow-up to his revolutionary science bestseller, Vox Day moves from the mathematical impossibility of life’s origins to the physical impossibility of its future genetic development.

THE FROZEN GENE isn't just a critique; it is a forensic reconstruction of the crime scene of modern biology. Using the mathematical vise of genomic throughput and selection coefficients, the author proves that the engine of natural selection isn't just sputtering, but has been frozen solid by the inexorable laws of probability and demographics.

INSIDE THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION:

The Selective Turnover Coefficient (d): Discover the hidden governor of evolution. Derived from ancient DNA and life-history tables, this coefficient proves that overlapping generations and demographic patterns can slow the speed of selection by as much as 98 percent—effectively eliminating the deep time on which evolutionary biologists rely.

The Confirmation of Haldane: Haldane’s Limit, which has been ignored by skeptical biologists for decades, is mathematically confirmed with a vengeance.

The Varying Invariance: The mathematical analysis of Kimura’s fixation model that shows how the math is not only incorrect, but has led to unavoidable and ubiquitous errors throughout the field of population genetics for more than fifty years.

The Death of the Selfish Gene: See why Dawkins’s "immortal replicators" are actually a mathematical impossibility in any population larger than a petri dish.The

A NEW STANDARD OF SCIENTIFIC RIGOR

When audited by the most advanced AI systems on the planet, the results are undeniable. In a comparison of the pillars of biological thought, the shift is seismic:

THE FROZEN GENE: Forensic. Extreme Rigor: 9.9

Probability Zero: Probabilistic. High Rigor: 9.7

What Evolution Is: Descriptive Low Rigor: 3.0

The Selfish Gene: Narrative Zero Rigor: 1.5

The time for storytelling is over. The Modern Synthesis of the 20th century has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. If you want to understand why the human gene pool is frozen, and how the so-called Origin of Species is a fairy tale for those who can’t count, you must read THE FROZEN GENE.
