Evolvability: The Hidden Architecture That Shapes Evolution
What if the greatest force shaping evolution isn't natural selection—but the hidden biological architecture that determines which evolutionary paths are even possible?
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Using Evolvability, edited by Massimo Pigliucci and Günter P.
