In The Runes of Evolution, Simon Conway Morris revitalizes the study of evolution from the perspective of convergence, providing us with compelling new evidence to support the mounting scientific view that the history of life is far more predictable than once thought. A leading evolutionary biologist at the University of Cambridge, Conway Morris came into international prominence for his work on the Cambrian explosion (especially fossils of the Burgess Shale) and evolution 606 $aEvolution (Biology)$xPhilosophy 606 $aConvergence (Biology) 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aConvergence (Biology) 676 $a576.8 700 $aConway Morris$b S$g(Simon),$01574286 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797217503321 996 $aThe runes of evolution$93850483 997 $aUNINA
