How Evolution 'hacked' its way to intelligence from the bottom up

- webmaven 5y agoThis article is reminiscent of a favorite book from 2005: The Plausibility of Life[0], though the book focuses on the generative ability of evolution to create novelty, and this article focuses more on the resilience of organisms in coping with change, including damage. Of course, these can't be neatly disentangled, and both the book and this article make the point that organism resilience is what provides the multi-generational "breathing room" for evolution to do its thing.
