Intro

Submitted by Sahitya P. on Sun, 01/25/2009 - 9:20pm.

I am a junior majoring in biology at Bryn Mawr. I have taken an introduction to computing course but have only a basic understanding of computer science.  I am mainly interested in microbiology but having taken an evolution class last semester I found Dawkins explanation of the evolution of complexity from simple origins fascinating.

Questions:

  • What are examples of emergent systems outside of the sphere of biology?
  • What repercussions will the ideas of emergence have in the fields of biology and computer science?
  • Is emergence a result of progressive adaptation/interaction with a given environment?
