Behind Evolution: Toward the Final Phase

For centuries the debate about evolution has been framed as a conflict between science and religion.

Behind Evolution turns that debate inside out.

In this philosophical investigation, Constant examines the deepest questions about life, complexity, and direction using the same tools often used to dismiss them: evolutionary biology, information theory, cosmology, and unflinching intellectual honesty. Instead of defending Darwinism or rejecting it outright, the book asks what the evidence actually suggests when we follow it wherever it leads.

Beginning with the simplest possible question - What kind of thing is evolution, actually? - the inquiry moves through molecular biology, the Cambrian Explosion, the RNA world, viral gene transfer, and the fine-tuned conditions of Earth itself to explore whether complexity has a direction.

Along the way it confronts difficult questions:

- Why does evolution repeatedly converge on the same solutions across independent lineages?
