Article Abstract:
Biosemiotics is the study of signs in relation to biology, which states that the division between nature and culture is false, since nature evolved in signs and all biological entities interact in messages. Therefore, known scientific facts such as protein synthesis and whale song are being redescribed as signs and their meanings pursued.
