Hoe het leven de dingen regelt

More about the book

Re-run the tape of life, and sit back to enjoy a myriad of new and bizarre life forms, unrecognisable to any inhabitant of today's Earth. Or could we? The eminent evolutionary palaeobiologist Simon Conway Morris sets out to challenge the widely accepted view that biological organisms are the result of evolutionary accident. He explores evidence indicating that life is in fact constrained and that a re-run would result in a different, but eerily familiar world. This extraordinarily wide-ranging book will be of great interest to general readers and specialists alike.
