Biology's First Law - The Tendency for Diversity and Complexity to Increase in Evolutionary Systems - Daniel W. Mcshea - Hardback Bog - The University
Brand: The University of Chicago Press
Description
Life on earth is characterized by three phenomena: adaptation; diversity; and complexity. Natural selection explains adaptation. But what explains diversity and complexity? This book argues that there exists in evolution a spontaneous tendency toward increased diversity and complexity, one that acts whether natural selection is present or not.
