Evolution, Development and Complexity Multiscale Evolutionary Models of Complex Adaptive Systems

This book explores the universe and its subsystems from the three lenses of evolutionary (diversifying), developmental (converging), and complex (adaptive) processes at all scales. It draws from prolific experts within the academic disciplines of complexity science, physical science, information and...
