'This is a wonderful, mind-expanding book. Prepare to be surprised,
enlightened and awed as Wagner reveals the sources of human and natural
creativity.'- Alice Roberts In Darwin's survival of the fittest, each
step must be uphill as life progresses towards an evolutionary peak.
There is no turning back.
So what happens when life needs to
cross a valley in the wilds of an adaptive landscape to reach the
highest summit? World-renowned biologist Andreas Wagner reveals that life
does not only walk - it also leaps. Drawing on pioneering research,
Wagner explores life's creative process and how it bears a striking
resemblance to how we humans work. A beguiling symmetry links Picasso
struggling through forty versions of Guernica and the way evolution
transformed a dinosaur's claw into a condor's wing.
This new
understanding is already revolutionising our approach to problem-solving
across the sciences. In the near future, applied in spheres as diverse
as the economy and education, it will enable us to do so much more.
Life Finds a Way is a thought-provoking and deeply hopeful look at the
force that shapes our world.
