summary: Knowing causality is central in public health and for this purpose, statistics, which uses hypothesis testing, is necessary.

The Origin of Life and the Evolution of Species: Science and Interpretations 
summaryThe scientific study of the beginnings of the world has raised in recent historical times the biological questions of the origin of life and of the evolution of species (understood as the passage from one species to another by generation).
