Abstract
During the past decades, the newly discovered sub-cellular and cellular entities have uncovered the insufficiency of the traditional Darwinians' Universal Tree of Life (TOL); and accumulating evidences have indicated that genetic alteration in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes was not only endogenous as what neo-Darwinians insisted on, but also exogenous as what Lamarckians claimed, which is challenging the Modern Synthesis–our modern knowledge on evolution as the traditional theoretical cornerstone of many disciplines in the life sciences including biology, physiology and medical science. Based on the advantages in multi-disciplines, the author proposes that a novel theoretical model, called the Universal Pattern of Evolutionary Entities (UPOEE) to complement the inadequacies in TOL and the traditional definition of life. UPOEE reflects the path of evolution from the simple to the complex, from lower levels to higher levels, and from inorganic entities to living organisms. Moreover, in the UPOEE model, there are also several newly proposed concepts: (i) the Last Universal Inorganic Molecular Ancestor (LUIMA), and the Last Universal Organic Molecular Ancestor (LUOMA), and the Last Universal Sub-Cellular Ancestor (LUSCA) for illustrating the three important starting lines for demarcating evolution of molecular and sub-cellular entities from lower levels to higher levels in the UPOEE model, (ii) evoccasion, evolvamity and evoclash for elucidating the opportunity and interaction among evolutionary entities at the same or different evolutionary levels, and (iii) the 'circulatory ladder-like pyramid' pattern, a facet of UPOEE beside known 'tree-like', 'web-like', and 'goods-like' features.
