Propagational Selection: An Essay on Darwin's Principle and the Nature of Things Ó Bruce David Sommerville
This is a philosophical and speculative essay, which discusses some aspects of Charles Darwin’s principle of natural selection, and explores the possibility of applying a Darwinian principle of selection to cosmological evolution. The aim is to consider how the essential qualities of the cosmos may have arisen and why they may be a necessary outcome of selection.
