O_5_16 — Gaia Hypothesis and Earth System Self-Regulation

The Gaia hypothesis, proposed by James Lovelock (atmospheric chemist, 1919–2022) and co-developed with Lynn Margulis (microbiologist, 1938–2011), posits that Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and geosphere interact

O_3_01 — Biodiversity, Ecosystem Intelligence, and the Superorganism

Earth harbors an estimated 8.7 million eukaryotic species (Mora et al. 2011), of which only ~1.5-1.8 million have been formally described — meaning roughly 80% of species remain unknown to science. When prokaryotes (bact
