  • A sufficient property of life : a search for the properties that attest to our being alive
  • Dr. Bernard's adaptations : the internal adaptations of life and their critical role in understanding life's nature
  • The physical world intrudes : how the physical world shapes our adaptive properties and us
  • Adaptations as life : adaptations as the sufficient, lifegiving properties
  • Spandrels and other irrelevancies: are there sufficient properties of life that are not adaptations?
