Life's Solution

A controversial challenge to current views of evolution, for the general reader.

Contends that randomness in the universe is limited by the rules of physics and chemistry, resulting in repeated examples of evolutionary convergence that demonstrate life's ability to arrive at a single solution in different ways.

Klappentext
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.
