The Evolution of Biological Information

Meer over het boek

Exploring the relationship between evolution and the complexity of life, Christoph Adami presents a mathematical theory integrating experimental evolution and information theory. He addresses challenging questions about the nature and mechanisms of complexity, proposing that information theory serves as a foundational tool in biology. Adami emphasizes that information is crucial for various biological processes, including communication and prediction, suggesting that it can unify our understanding of complex systems beyond just biological contexts.
