In Episode 55, Gregg welcomes Tyler Volk. Tyler is Professor Emeritus of Biology and Environmental Studies at New York University. He is the author of several books, including *Metapatterns Across Space, Time, and Mind*, and *From Quarks to Culture: How We Came to Be*. Across his professional life, he has developed a big picture view of the cosmos called "combogenesis" which maps 12 levels of complexity into three realms. In this episode, he and Gregg sync up this map with UTOK's Tree of Knowledge System, with the result being a clear synergy and a hopeful advance for how we might correspond the various Big History maps into a coherent integrated pluralism.   - - - 📘 Resources mentioned in this episode 📘 - - - Metapatterns, Across Space, Time, and Mind by Tyler Volk:* https://www.amazon.com/Metapatterns-Tyler-Volk/dp/023106750X  From Quarks to Culture: How We Came to Be by Tyler Volk:* https://www.amazon.com/Quarks-Culture-How-We-Came/dp/023117960X  The Design Way by Harold G.

Dr. Tyler Volk is Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies at New York University. His areas of interest include principles of form and function in systems (described as metapatterns), environmental challenges to global prosperity, CO2 and global change, biosphere theory and the role of life in earth dynamics. Dr. Volk has authored seven books, most recently, Quarks to Culture: How We Came to Be. His previous books include: CO2 Rising: The World’s Greatest Environmental Challenge, What is Death?: A Scientist Looks at the Cycle of Life, Gaia's Body: Toward a Physiology of Earth, and Metapatterns: Across Space, Time, and Mind. In this episode, we focus on Dr. Volk’s book, Quarks to Culture. We talk about the fundamental levels, from fundamental quanta to geopolitical states, and the three dynamical realms of physical laws, biological evolution, and cultural evolution. We also refer to the concepts of combogenesis and the alphakit, to understand how we move from one level to the next. Toward the end, we also discuss how we might be able to move beyond the level of geopolitical states. -- Follow Dr. Volk’s work: Faculty page: http://bit.ly/2mn4dCP ResearchGate profile: http://bit.ly/2m2QoZV Books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2kE7ugF Buy the book!
