Why Does a Darwinian Demon Not Exist?: The Lifespan Limit
from £78.00
The ultimate organism can survive forever, and reproduce an infinite amount of offspring. This seems to maximise ‘fitness’ as described by Darwin… so why doesn’t this ‘darwinian demon’ exist? This masterclass will explore the evolutionary causes of death, and discuss the evidence for the idea that death is the ultimate trade-off for increased fertility.
