At the University of Sydney, Wednesday 1 March. In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Having trouble viewing this email? View online version. [The University of Sydney] Sydney Ideas Professor Stuart Kauffman [https://wordvine.sydney.edu.au/files/59/15180/images/custom/71884_Kauffman_wordvine.jpg] The Emergence and Evolution of Life Beyond Physics Professor Stuart Kauffman, theoretical biologist and complex systems researcher, emeritus professor of biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania Co-presented with the Centre for Complex Systems and the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science the University of Sydney The emergence and evolution of life is based on physics but is not reducible to physics. Prebiotic chemistry saw the evolution of many organic molecules in complex reaction networks, and the formation of structures such as membranes. Theory and experiments suggest that from this, self-reproducing molecular systems could arise and evolve. How and where these proto-organisms emerge cannot be stated in advance, and their emergence will create novel niches enabling further types of proto-organisms to evolve in ways that also cannot be stated in advance. Thus, the evolving biosphere literally constructs itself and is the most complex system we know in the universe. Full abstract ABOUT THE SPEAKER Professor Stuart Kauffman is one of the most distinguished scholars of complexity and the author of several acclaimed books, including The Origins of Order: Self Organization and Selection in Evolution (1993), At Home in the Universe: The Search for Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity (1995), and Humanity in a Creative Universe (2016).
