The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality
...perceptions is nothing like reality. What’s more, he says, we have evolution itself to thank for this magnificent illusion, as it maximizes evolutionary fitness by driving truth to extinction. Getting...
Entanglement Made Simple
...to assign unique, independent states to several q-ons. Similar considerations apply to the evolution of a single q-on in time. We say we have “entangled histories” when it is impossible...

New Lizard Shows Evolution’s Predictability
The anole lizards that dot many islands of the Caribbean are a natural evolutionary experiment. Many species of anole exist, and, in a striking pattern, they seem to have evolved...
