Exploring the evolution of complexity in the natural world, this collection of the author's work delves into fitness landscapes to explain key developments such as genomes, symbiosis, and multicellularity. It introduces fundamental concepts in a clear manner, utilizing variations of the NK model and the Baldwin effect to present innovative abstract models. These insights shed light on the selection processes behind evolutionary innovations and how complexity has gradually increased in certain lineages over time.
