Series Overview
This article series explores life through the combined lenses of biology, chemistry, and physics, examining how living systems are organized, regulated, and sustained across multiple levels. While recognizing evolutionary theory as a valuable framework for observing biological change, the series investigates whether life’s origin and coordination can be explained by trial-and-error processes alone. Each article focuses on a specific aspect of the living world—molecular, cellular, physiological, or physical—highlighting the deep integration and constraints that characterize life from its earliest foundations.
