Kozlov is presented. It is noted that the neofunctionalization of tumors is definitely an unconventional idea put forward by a decidedly unconventional thinker. The book combines both well-known evolutionary and ecological concepts, as well as little-known theories, and thoughtful consideration is given to each of them. And although many scientists will undoubtedly disagree with its main conclusions (it remains to be seen whether examples such as the goldfish cap are the exception or the rule), the book in many ways encourages reflection and provides ample ground for experimentation, thereby stimulating the further development of scientific thought. “Evolution by neofunctionalization of tumors” by A.P. Kozlov will be an important reading for anyone studying evolution and genomics, especially for the ideological leaders of Darwinian medicine.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Представлена рецензия на книгу профессора А.П. Козлова. Отмечается, что неофункционализация опухолей, безусловно, является нетрадиционной идеей, в которой сочетаются как хорошо известные эволюционные и экологические концепции, так и малоизвестные теории, и каждой из них уделяется вдумчивое внимание. И хотя многие ученые, несомненно, с этим не согласятся, благодаря своим основным выводам, книга во многом побуждает к размышлениям и предоставляет широкую почву для экспериментов тем самым стимулируя дальнейшее развитие научной мысли. “Эволюция путем неофункционализации опухолей” А.П. Козлова станет важным чтением для всех, кто изучает эволюцию и геномику, особенно для идеологических приверженцев дарвиновской медицины.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>genome evolution</kwd><kwd>the evolutionary role of tumors</kwd><kwd>neofunctionalization</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эволюция генома</kwd><kwd>эволюционная роль опухолей</kwd><kwd>неофункционализация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Kozlov A.P.
