Not sure why something has to be able to evolve by natural selection in order to be considered alive.
- brailsafe 2y agoHmm, is there anything you can think of, barring an individual's death or mutation etc.., that we'd consider alive but can't reproduce or evolve? I hadn't thought of it previously, but that does seem like a fundamental difference between being inert and alive.
