That does not seem a good paper. The only references on biology are quite generic books. Also the stated hypotheses are quite unfounded. As far as I know, there is barely any evidence of biology using quantum phenomena directly, except perhaps regarding photosynthesis and enzymatic activity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_biology https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_biology
