  • The pursuit of complexity

    the utility of biodiversity from an evolutionary perspective

    What use is biodiversity, and does it matter if species die out? These controversial questions arouse considerable debate.

  • Symbiotic Planet

    A New Look At Evolution

    par Lynn Margulis ...
    Although Charles Darwin's theory of evolution laid the foundations of modern biology, it did not tell the whole story. Most remarkably, The Origin of Species said very little about, of all things, the origins of species. Darwin and his modern successors have shown very convincingly how inherited variations are naturally selected, but they leave unanswered how variant organisms come to be in the ... En savoir plus

    Nature's patterns: a tapestry in three parts

It creates itself. The patterns we see come from self-organization. Whether living or non-living, scientists have found that there is a pattern-forming tendency inherent in the basic structure and processes of ... En savoir plus
