Evolutionary Biologist – Leading proponent of Cognition-Based Evolution ( CBE) and Extended Hologenomic Evolution Theory.
Expert on the Microbiome and Infectious Disease – Industry and Health Consultant.
Physician in active medical practice for 30 years.
Background
Cognition-Based Evolution (CBE) offers a comprehensive alternative to the current belief that natural selection controls evolution. Recent research indicates that all organisms that can be seen with our eyes are an intimate collaboration of our innate cells and a vast co-habitating microbiome. Therefore, evolution must be appraised from within those crucial cellular terms.
My expertise in the microbiome and extensive medical training have led to a novel and academically sound approach to evolutionary development which also has broad implications for medical research and personal health.
Methods
The study of evolution and health should proceed through a framework that emphasizes our essential partnership with microbes and the immunological rules that govern those relationships.
Goals
Establish Cognition Based Evolution as a correction to the preponderant Darwinian selection-biased evolutionary narrative.
Advance research in the microbiome and in those patterns of microbial cooperation that lead to infectious diseases. This is the crucial common denominator for our own health and its proper understanding is critical to our stewardship of our planet.

The Blog
New research is revealing an enormous amount of information that permits a conclusive alternative theory to Darwinism. Compared to decades ago, we now know that all cells and microbes have basal cognition Our blog is a journey through this new alternative theory of evolution.

THE Book
William B. Miller, Jr., M.D. is the author of the book, “The Microcosm Within: Evolution and Extinction in the Hologenome”. This work offers a complete alternative theory of evolution. Instead of the Darwinian belief in random genetic mutations and natural selection, Dr. Miller insists that evolution can only be properly understood through an approach that emphasizes an essential self-referential capacity that has defined all living things from its origin forward. All living entities use of information for communication, for collaboration, and to compete. All such actions are directed towards problem-solving to attain or sustain preferential conditions. This is as true of cells and microbes as of ourselves. To learn more, click here: http://www.themicrocosmwithin.com/
