Beschreibung:
Softcover. Good binding and cover. Stamps and markings on front end page. "The history of life is littered with accidents: any twist or turn may lead to a completely different world. Now this view is being challenged. Simon Conway Morris explores the evidence demonstrating life's almost eerie ability to navigate to the correct solution, repeatedly. Eyes, brains, tools, even culture: all are very much on the cards. So if these are all evolutionary inevitabilities, where are our counterparts across the Galaxy? The tape of life can run only on a suitable planet, and it seems that such Earth-like planets may be much rarer than is hoped. Inevitable humans, yes, but in a lonely Universe.".
