"There would seem to be an enormous gap between fundamental physics and… the evolution of terrestrial life and human culture." (8)
"…moreover, they deal with history and with the kind of evolution
undergone by biological species or human languages or cultures." (9)
"the fundamental quantum mechanical laws of physics really do give rise to individuality."

"What distinguishes complex adaptive systems, which undergo processes like learning and biological evolution, from evolving systems (such as galaxies and stars) that are non adaptive?"
Joshua tree, a type of yucca plant, dominates arid terrains forming a complex adaptive system called an ecological system.
