And no book has ever established the life sciences so firmly in the mainstream of Western intellectual history as The Growth of Biological Thought. Ten years in preparation, this is a work of epic proportions, tracing the development of the major problems of biology from the earliest attempts to find order in the diversity of life, to modern.

Abstract A radiative transfer model is employed to investigate the comparative surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation histories of Earth, Mars and Venus from Ga to the present and thus their comparative theoretical photobiological histories. Earth probably began with a period of higher ultraviolet radiation fluxes during the anoxic Archean. Evolution doesn't have a purpose. Building humans or intelligent creatures is certainly not one of them. It is wrong to think that nature is aiming to populate all niches available, land, water, air. In fact, the beauty of Darwin's theory comes from this very fact, that there doesn't have to be a purpose for evolution to occur.

Scientists have struggled to find universals that permanently link our species. Although we come to the table with biological predispositions, a million years of bending, breaking and blending have diversified our species’ preferences. We are the products not only of biological evolution but also of cultural evolution.
