Life Finds a Way

Every single one of the millions of species alive today is the most recent link in an almost-endless chain of creation going all the way back to the origins of life. The amazing diversity and complexity we see all around us are products of nature's creativity.

Drawing on pioneering research conducted over the past ten years, Andreas Wagner lays out the principles of creation that unify all of nature, from the beginnings of the universe to our world. What they reveal about creativity is as surprising as it is different from the simplistic Darwinism that has shaped our views for so long. Now everything changes. These principles are already helping biotechnologists to disarm potent toxins and engineers to devise new kinds of electronic circuits. In the near future, applied to spheres as diverse as the economy and education, they will enable us to do so much more. Life Finds a Way is the essential guide to understanding these breathtaking revelations.
