Christopher Bryant and Valerie A. Brown explore evolution through cooperation and interdependence, from the origins of cells to the relationships between organisms and their environments. They revisit Darwin’s image of a tangled bank and use it to connect biological change with the networks in which living things develop.
The chapters discuss symbiosis, energy, ecological niches, inheritance, human origins and the connections between natural and social systems. Examples, diagrams and a glossary introduce the authors’ account for a general adult readership. Later sections consider how the picture of evolution developed throughout the book might inform thinking about humanity’s future.
