Description
The fundamental goal of all life is genetic survival. Over billions of years of trial and error, every species alive today has evolved unique abilities to survive and flourish in its environment. In doing so, many have developed ingenious solutions to problems that currently are beyond our human grasp, such as immunity to disease, suspended animation, mind control, and immortality. All of these adaptations are part of a web of interconnections. There is much we can learn from nature, both about ourselves and to improve our chance of survival.
