Intro

Submitted by kdilliplan on Sun, 01/25/2009 - 7:49pm.

I am a junior biology major/geology minor at Bryn Mawr.  I am interested in paleontology, especially the study of evolution as recorded in the fossil record and in other aspects of geologic history.  I have very little background in computer science, but I am looking forward to learning more about it.

1) How close can computer models come to representing actual living systems?

2) What does "emergence" actually mean to different people?

3) Can the concept of emergence be used to explain the past course of earth history and/or predict how it will continue?
