Making the Most

Life is a phenomenon that has captivated human curiosity since the beginning of history. As defined by scientists, life is characterized by the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis. For centuries, naturalists have studied the diversity of life forms, their classification, their biological processes, and their relationship with their environment.
From tiny bacteria to giant sequoias, life has evolved to occupy every habitable niche on earth. The evolution of life is an ongoing process, where organisms are subjected to selective pressures that shape their biology and increase their chance of survival.
