Biology's First Law: The Tendency for Diversity and Complexity to Increase in Evolutionary Systems by Daniel W. McShea –

Biology's First Law: The Tendency for Diversity and Complexity to Increase in Evolutionary Systems by Daniel W. McShea presents a groundbreaking concept in evolutionary biology: the zero-force evolutionary law. This law posits that biological systems naturally drift toward greater diversity and complexity, even in the absence of natural selection. McShea, a distinguished evolutionary biologist at Duke University, builds a compelling case using examples from across the tree of life, integrating ideas from physics and philosophy. The book is aimed at advanced students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by the deep patterns of evolution. Readers will learn to see evolutionary change as a combination of directed selection and inherent tendencies, fundamentally altering how we understand the rise of complexity.
