Abstract

Science sometimes runs into natural manifestations of cabalist sequences that defy our intrinsic skepticism. The Fibonacci sequence is one of the famous, but there are others just as striking, as our invited of today, that explains some unequal distribution of elements within biological sets. As in the past, we will explore some shores of the matter with the help of R to learn a little more about this language while marveling with some suspicious coincidences between numerology and biology.
