Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 464 pages. Life's Solution builds a persuasive case for the predictability of evolutiona ry outcomes. The case rests on a remarkable compilation of examples of convergen t evolution, in which two or more lineages have independently evolved similar st ructures and functions. The examples range from the aerodynamics of hovering mot hs and hummingbirds to the use of silk by spiders and some insects to capture pr ey. Going against the grain of Darwinian orthodoxy, this book is a must read for anyone grappling with the meaning of evolution and our place in the Universe. S imon Conway Morris is the Ad Hominen Professor in the Earth Science Department a t the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St. John's College and the Royal S ociety. His research focuses on the study of constraints on evolution, and the h istorical processes that lead to the emergence of complexity, especially with re spect to the construction of the major animal body parts in the Cambrian explosi on.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The assassin's bullet misses, the Archduke's carriage moves forward, and a catastrophic war is avoided. So too with the history of life. Re-run the tape of life, as Stephen J. Gould claimed, and the outcome must be entirely different: an alien world, without humans and maybe not even intelligence. The history of life is littered with accidents: any twist or turn may lead to a completely different world. Now this view is being challenged. Simon Conway Morris explores the evidence demonstrating life's almost eerie ability to navigate to a single solution, repeatedly. Eyes, brains, tools, even culture: all are very much on the cards. So if these are all evolutionary inevitabilities, where are our counterparts across the galaxy The tape of life can only run on a suitable planet, and it seems that such Earth-like planets may be much rarer than hoped. Inevitable humans, yes, but in a lonely Universe.…
