Wynand De Beer has written a beautiful book From Logos to Bios.He links diverse ideas from the ancient Greeks and their ideas about mathematics and life with recent evolutionary discoveries like convergence and orthogenesis. He offers a new framework for evolutionary models that recognize the deteriorating state of the Darwinism, replacing it with a more elegant model.

Perry Marshall interviews Wynand, who shares not only surprisingly relevant insights from ancient philosophers, but also his personal story.
