What is Life?

The quest for a definition

by Don Simborg ...

It seems like a simple question: what makes something alive? We know it when we see it a bird in flight, a growing tree, a scurrying insect. Yet, as Don Simborg reveals here, the scientific community has been locked in a millennia-long struggle to find a definition that actually sticks. From the earliest philosophical musings to the complexities of "Vitalism" and the pioneering insights of Erwin ... Read more

When and How Our Species Will Evolve Into Another Species

by Don Simborg ...

Life began on earth 3.8 billion years ago. We have had two momentous evolutionary events since then: the emergence of Eukarya about 2 billion years ago (the basis of all plants and animals) and the enlargement in size and capability of the human brain, which began about 2 million years ago. Otherwise humans have had a remarkably stable evolutionary process. But now, two technologies, artificial ... Read more
