Krátky popis
Why do gazelles have legs and not wheels? Why is all life based on
carbon rather than silicon? Why do humans have eyes on the front of
their heads? And beyond earth, would life - if it should exist -
look like our own? The puzzles of life astound and confuse us like
no other mystery. An astrophysicist once conceded that even the
smallest insect is far more complex than either an atom or a star.
But in this groundbreaking new account of the process of evolution,
Professor Charles Cockell reveals how nature is far more
understandable and predictable than we would think. Refining
Darwin's theory of natural selection, Cockell puts forward a
remarkable and elegant account of why evolution has taken the paths
it has. The key is understanding how fundamental physical laws
constrain nature's direction and form at every turn. From the
animal kingdom to the atomic realm, he shows how physics is the
true touchstone for understanding life in all its extraordinary
forms. Provocative and captivating, this book will fundamentally
change how you view the world.
