The Chimera Anagenesis: A Theoretical Framework for Guided Human Evolution

The Chimera Anagenesis: A Theoretical Framework for Guided Human Evolution By Winston P: Bradfield - Independent Researcher Abstract This paper introduces Chimera Anagenesis, a theoretical framework for human biological enhancement inspired by the unique RNA-editing and distributed neural svstems of cephalopods, particularly the octopus. Unlike traditional models of human evolution that rely on slow genetic mutation, this framework proposes a path ta rapid adaptability and decentralized cognition through synthetic neurobiological augmentation. Drawing on advances in RNA editing, stem cell technology, and neuroplasticity, the mode envisions implanting autologous neura organoids into vestigial human tissue to create new sites of cognition. Though speculative, the framework builds on established biological principles and emerging research, offering a conceptual foundation for future directions in synthetic biology, neuroengineering, and directed evolution.
