Life's Solution: Inevitable Humans in a Lonely Universe Brochura - 2004
por Simon Conway Morris
Now in paperback, this title offers a new controversial interpretation of evolutionary theory. Arguing against the traditional Darwinian approach, the author finds nature turning to inevitable solutions in the development of life leading ultimately to the creation of humans.
Resumo
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.
