Paul Larudee: Prospects for the Continuation of Life on Earth, and of the Human Species

This treatise on evolutionary science attempts to update the laws of evolution, the current state of knowledge and research on the subject, and the role of the advancement of technology in
determining the direction of evolution. It will also address the question of whether there are limits to technological advancements, and the potential relevance of such limits to an explanation of Fermi’s Paradox.
