为什么值得读
- 来自圣塔菲研究所的复杂系统研究视角
- 探讨生物体规模经济与寿命心率的关系
- 提供分析演化系统的跨领域科学见解
“出自当今最具影响力的科学家之一，本书是对主宰从动植物到人类居住城市等一切事物生命周期的潜在法则的一次令人惊叹的探索。Santa Fe Institute 前负责人、富有远见的物理学家 Geoffrey West 是复杂性科学（研究涌现系统与网络的科学）领域的先驱。然而，‘complexity’一词可能带有误导性，因为 West 的发现之所以如此迷人，恰恰在于他找到了一种根本的简约性，将生命系统看似复杂多样的现象统一起来，包括我们的……

……分析和理解这些不断演化的系统的能力。就我而言，我已经开始通过阅读更多关于复杂系统的书籍来对抗自己的无知了。这里有一本我最近发现的好书：Geoffrey West 写的《规模》（"Scale"）。另外，圣塔菲研究所（Santa Fe Institute）也提供了一份很实用的资源合集：https://www.complexityexplorer.org/（提示：进入 explore -> browse 版块）……顺便附送一个，最……
…capabilities to analyze and understand these ever evolving systems. I for one, have began to fight my ignorance by studying more books on complex systems. Here's a good one I've discovered recently: "Scale" by Geoffrey West. Also, a useful collection of resources, courtesy of Santa Fe Institute: https://www.complexityexplorer.org/ (HINT: Go to explore -> browse section) ... and bonus, one of the most…

……认为这对我们或病毒/细菌具有演化上的优势……弓形虫病也有类似的例子 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis Geoffrey West 在《规模》（scale）一书中提到了其中一些内容——很值得一读 https://www.amazon.com/Scale-Universal-Innovation-Sustainabi... 极度简化来说，某些后期会杀死我们的病毒/基因缺陷，却能让我们活得足够久来繁衍后代……
…consider this to be evolutionary advantageous to us or the virus/bacteria...similar example from toxoplasmosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis Geoffrey West touches upon some of this stuff in scale - its worth a read https://www.amazon.com/Scale-Universal-Innovation-Sustainabi... Oversimplification is that some of the viruses / genetic defects that kill us later let us live long enough to reproduce…
寿命跟那个根本没关系。寿命完全取决于生物体的规模经济（economies of scale）。生物体越大，效率就越高。心率就越慢，等等。当然，动物界里也有例外。若想了解关于这个特定主题的详细科学综述，……
Life span has nothing to do with that. Life span is all about economies of scale of the organism. The larger the organism the more efficient it is. The heart rate is slower etc. There are exceptions in animal kingdom, of course. For detailed scientific overview on this specific topic,…
