Coen describes the four ways that life, in the broadest term, is transformed: development through patterning, Darwinian selection, modifying neural interactions and connections, and cultural change as a result of human behavior and interaction; and argues that these four means o…
Cells to Civilizations is the first unified account of how life transforms itself--from the production of bacteria to the emergence of complex civilizations. What are the connections between evolving microbes, an egg that develops into an infant, and a child who learns to walk a…

"Over the past half-century, studies of the evolution of life have themselves evolved, markedly. Life’s earliest history, unknown and thought unknowable for the 100 years following publication of Darwin’s great opus in 1859 has finally come to light as the documented fossil reco…
"The authors touch on every major field of biology, from molecular genetics and neurobiology, through animal behavior and ecology, to evolution, extinction and even economics. At each level, they describe well-known phenomena that today's standard theories, steeped as they are i…
