Civilization as a biosystem examined by the comparative analysis of biosystems.

Bio Systems - 1 Jan 2000

Kawamura Kunio

Abstract excerpt

Darwinian evolutionary theory has played a central role in the life sciences. However, this principle is rarely applied to exceptional life-like systems such as human societies and the life-like chemical systems associated with the origin of life. For a description of the nature of these exceptional life-like biosystems, the development of alternative approaches is necessary. The existence of analogies among...
