title: Eicosanoids: the molecules of evolution.
abstract: The molecules of evolution constitute a response system linking the environment to the internal machinery of cells and are key factors in evolutionary disorders. They orchestrate such mechanisms of evolution as replication and reproduction, variation, inheritance, natural selection, heterochrony, neoteny, aging, recapitulation, metamorphosis, homology, paradox, and extinction. Eicosanoids fulfill these criteria.
