✦ Synopsis

In 1993, Stuart Kauffman's The Origins of Order: Self-organization and Selection in Evolution was published by Oxford University Press. It is an ambitious book that covers much territory, from general points about the dynamics of the evolutionary process to a proposed scenario for the origins of life. Given the scope of the book, and its controversiality, BioEssays commissioned two reviews. The first reviewer, Brian Charlesworth, is a population geneticist. The second reviewer, Peter Schuster, has worked on origins-of-life problems from the perspective of Manfred Eigen's group.
