  How did human beings acquire imaginations that can conjure up untrue possibilities? How did the Universe become
self-aware? In The Runes of Evolution, Simon Conway Morris revitalizes the study of evolution from the perspective of
convergence, providing us with compelling new evidence to support the mounting scientific view that the history of life
is far more predictable than once thought. A leading evolutionary biologist at the University of Cambridge, Conway
Morris came into international prominence for his work on the Cambrian explosion (especially fossils of the Burgess
Shale) and evolutionary convergence, which is the process whereby organisms not closely related (not monophyletic),
independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. In The
Runes of Evolution, he illustrates how the ubiquity of convergence hints at an underlying framework whereby many
outcomes, not least brains and intelligence, are virtually guaranteed on any Earth-like planet. Conway Morris also
emphasizes how much of the complexity of advanced biological systems is inherent in microbial forms. By casting a wider
net, The Runes of Evolution explores many neglected evolutionary questions. Some are remarkably general. Why, for
example, are convergences such as parasitism, carnivory, and nitrogen fixation in plants concentrated in particular
taxonomic hot spots? Why do certain groups have a particular propensity to evolve toward particular states? Some
questions lead to unexpected evolutionary insights: If bees sleep (as they do), do they dream? Why is that insect
copulating with an orchid? Why have sponges evolved a system of fiber optics? What do mantis shrimps and submarines have
in common? If dinosaurs had not gone extinct what would have happened next? Will a saber-toothed cat ever re-evolve?
Cona Morris observes: “Even amongst the mammals, let alone the entire tree of life, humans represent one minute
twig of a vast (and largely fossilized) arborescence. Every living species is a linear descendant of an immense string
of now-vanished ancestors, but evolution itself is the very reverse of linear. Rather it is endlessly exploratory,
probing the vast spaces of biological hyperspace. Indeed this book is a celebration of how our world is (and was)
populated by a riot of forms, a coruscating tapestry of life.” The Runes of Evolution is the most definitive
synthesis of evolutionary convergence to be published to date.
