Biology's First Law: The Tendency for Diversity and Complexity to Increase in Evolutionary Systems
Daniel W. McShea
Life on earth is characterized by three phenomena: adaptation; diversity; and complexity. Natural selection explains adaptation. But what explains diversity and complexity? This book argues that there exists in evolution a spontaneous tendency toward increased diversity and complexity, one that acts whether natural selection is present or not.
