Synopsis
Challenging Darwin's theories, Brian Goodwin argues that it is possible to understand evolution as a process that is pushed by the intrinsic properties of living matter, rather than pulled by natural selection. He shows how seemingly complex strucures such as wings or eyes can be built up in a series of simple, self-organising steps. Goodwin's new biology is not only an exact science, it is also a science for a new age that transforms the competitive individualism into a post-modern science of qualities.

Condition: Aceptable. : En 'Cómo el leopardo cambió sus manchas', Brian Goodwin desafía las teorías de Darwin y argumenta que la evolución puede entenderse como un proceso impulsado por las propiedades intrínsecas de la materia viva, en lugar de ser dirigida únicamente por la selección natural. El autor muestra cómo estructuras complejas, como alas u ojos, pueden surgir a través de pasos simples y auto-organizativos. Este enfoque ofrece una nueva perspectiva sobre la biología, transformando el individualismo competitivo en una ciencia de cualidades.
