Beyond Darwin: Quantum Biology and Human Ontology

The article analyzes the role of quantum biology in defining contemporary human ontology, contrasting scientific rigor with metaphysical speculation. The author examines whether phenomena such as quantum tunneling, coherence, or entanglement have real functional significance in the "warm and wet" cellular environment, where decoherence remains a key problem. The text points to specific examples from biophysics, including energy transfer in photosynthesis and enzymatic reactions, proving that biology operates on multiple scales. Instead of replacing classical physics with quantum physics, modern science strives for their integration, treating quantum processes as elementary stages within the organism's classical boundary conditions.
