About the Author

Andreas Wagner is a distinguished evolutionary biologist and professor at the University of Zurich, where he explores the intricate mechanisms of biological innovation and adaptation. With a PhD from the University of Vienna, Wagner has dedicated his career to unraveling how nature generates novelty through genetic and evolutionary processes, challenging traditional views of Darwinian selection. His groundbreaking research, published in leading scientific journals, bridges molecular biology and systems theory to explain the origins of complexity in living organisms. Wagner's work has earned him international acclaim, including fellowships from the Swiss National Science Foundation and the European Research Council. Beyond academia, he communicates complex ideas with clarity and insight, making evolutionary science accessible to a broad audience. In Arrival of the Fittest: How Nature Innovates, he vividly illustrates how robustness and evolvability drive life's endless creativity.
