Law of Life

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Law of Life was coined by author Daniel Quinn to denote a system of laws that all beings are subject to and which serve to foster life.

In The Story of B, Quinn writes, "A biologist would probably say what I'm calling the Law of Life is just a collection of evolutionarily stable strategies— the universal set of such strategies, in fact."

Quinn did much to popularise the concept (Law of Life) but the phrase was in fact coined by Farley Mowat in his book People of the Deer. Mowat's work here greatly influenced Quinn.
