Why is life the way it is? Bacteria evolved into complex life only once in four billion years of life on Earth - and all complex forms of life share many strange properties, from sex to aging and death. If life evolved on other planets, would it be the same or completely different?
In the book The Vital Question, Nick Lane revolutionizes evolutionary history by proposing a convincing solution to enigmas that have puzzled scientists for decades. The answer, according to him, lies in energy: how all forms of life on Earth live by a tendency that has the power of lightning. By unraveling these scientific mysteries and making them understandable, Lane's explanation provides a solution to vital questions: why are we the way we are and why are we here?
This is revolutionary science in an accessible form, in the tradition of works by Charles Darwin The Origin of Species, Richard Dawkins The Selfish Gene, and Jared Diamond Guns, Germs and Steel. Pages: 368, Dimensions: 12.8x12.8cm
