This book offers a vision of how evolutionary life processes can be
modelled. It presents a mathematical description that can be used
not only for the full evolution of life on Earth from RNA to modern
human societies, but also the possible evolution of life on
exoplanets, thus leading to SETI, the current Search for
ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. The main premise underlying this
mathematical theory is that the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) can
be applied as a key stochastic process to model the evolution of
life. In the resulting Evo-SETI Theory, the life of any living
thing (a cell, an animal, a human, a civilization of humans, or
even an ET civilization) is represented by a b-lognormal, i.e., a
lognormal probability density function starting at a precise
instant (b, birth) then increasing up to a peak time, then
decreasing to senility time and then continuing as a straight line
down to the time of death. Using this theory, Claudio Maccone
arrives at remarkable hypotheses on the development of life and
civilizations, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and when
computers will take over the reins from us humans (Singularity).
The book develops the mathematical Evo-SETI Theory by integrating a
set of articles that the author has published in various journals
on Astrobiology and Astronautical Research.
