Abstract
From Myth to Molecule: Biological Ideas in Ancient Traditions explores the relationship between modern biological sciences and ancient Indian knowledge systems through an interdisciplinary perspective. The book examines themes such as embryology, evolution, genetics, ecology, neuroscience, and environmental thought alongside concepts preserved in Ayurveda, Vedic literature, Yoga, and traditional philosophical traditions. Rather than claiming that ancient traditions predicted modern science, the work highlights conceptual parallels, symbolic interpretations, and observational insights that shaped early understandings of life and nature. By combining scientific reasoning with cultural and historical reflection, the book encourages dialogue between traditional wisdom and contemporary biological thought.
