Whole Earth Review, Fall 1988
“Evolution is full of surprised. I don’t mean the funny-shaped animals, like flounder or angler fish, that readily evoke an exclamation or laugh. I’m referring to the improbable ways that evolution has of doing things, the surprising paths taken by evolution that violate all the stereotyped notions about progress. Sometimes evolution isn’t the slow grind, meandering along, continuously editing random variations into ever-better versions.”
