Sinopsis
‘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.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Every single one of the millions of species alive today is the most recent link in an almost-endless chain of creation going all the way back to the origins of life. The amazing diversity and complexity we see all around us are products of natures creativity. Drawing on pioneering research conducted over the past ten years, Andreas Wagner lays out the principles of creation that unify all of nature, from the beginnings of the universe to our world. What they reveal about creativity is as surprising as it is different from the simplistic Darwinism that has shaped our views for so long. Now everything changes. These principles are already helping biotechnologists to disarm potent toxins and engineers to devise new kinds of electronic circuits. In the near future, applied to spheres as diverse as the economy and education, they will enable us to do so much more. Life Finds a Way is the essential guide to understanding these breathtaking revelations. How can new insights into evolution help us solve problems in life, art, business and science?
