"Biochemistry is of tremendous
import in understanding the most
biological of all biological theories
-the theory of evolution," Prof..
Ernest Baldwin of the University
of London said yesterday. His was
the second speech in a series en-
titled "The Nature of Biological
Diversity," sponsored by the In-
stitute of Science and Technology.
Prof. Baldwin pointed out that
living organisms at the molecular
level posess many more similarities
than differences. "Take away the
secondary qualities," he said, "and
the fundamental ground plan that
we often take for granted is ex-
posed." This "common ground
plan" is the starting point for all
evolution.
Advantageous Mutations
Advantageous mutations, by far
the least frequent type, must oc-
cur over and over, Prof. Baldwin
observed. Certain mutations, how-
ever, are more probable than
others. Hemoglobin, cited as an
example, is an extremely benefi-
cial adaptation which is found in
many different forms of life. With
this substance, entirely new en-
vironmental possibilities were
thrown open for life.
However;, the crucial problem
discussed by the British bio-
chemist was the problem of nitro-
gen excretion in various animals.
This, he noted, is a primary ex-
ample of how biological changes
enable the expansion into and
occupation of new environments.
In order. for an organism to
emerge from the water, it must
solve the essential problem of am-
monia excretion. This has been ac-
complished in diverse ways-with
most lakid animals, by transform-
ing dangerous ammnonia into non-
toxic urea.

For Prof. Baldwin, who has done
considerable research on elasmo-
branch fishes, the basic question is
still to be answered--"how is the
fundamental biochemistry chang-
ed in the course of evolution?"
In his work Prof. Baldwin has
come to an impasse. The mechan-
PROF. ERNEST BALDWIN
.. .on biochemistry
ism for producing one of the fund-
amental chemicals in urea synthe-.
sis-the exact manner in which
this chemical is formed-is still
unknown.
Engaging in what he termed
"mild speculation," Prof. Baldwin
presented two possibilities. "Either,
our understanding of urea syn-
thesis in other organisms is in-
correct or different groups of or-
ganisms produce this basic pro-
duct in several different ways.
Although Prof. Baldwin readily,
admitted that he was: at a loss
for a satisfactory explanation, he
noted with some satisfaction that
so were his colleagues.
