Abstract
Nobody, or so we all hope, imagines evolution to be entirely open-ended. A myriad of factors — fluid viscosities, the electromagnetic spectrum, the affinity of phosphorous for oxygen, and for all I know, the cosmological constant — collectively constrain in their various ways the paths of evolution. Conversely, not even the most ardent enthusiast for convergent evolution imagines the process to be entirely deterministic. The balance lies somewhere in between, although to echo Jorge Luis Borges’s famous conceit, I suspect that the discussion will be more reminiscent of two bald men fighting over a comb.
