The Harmonic Dance of Life
From: The Web of Meaning
$2.70
Competition in the development of life is contrasted with the far more important role co-operation has had in producing the breathtaking diversity and beauty of life. Darwinism, the discovery of DNA, the flawed metaphor of the machine, epigenetic changes, the development of mitochondria, and the deep symbiosis of natural systems are discussed.
