Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Leigh Maiorana Van Valen was an American evolutionary biologist. He was professor emeritus in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. Amongst other work, Van Valen's proposed "Law of Extinction" drew upon the apparent constant probability of extinction in families of related organisms, based on data compiled from existing literature on the duration of tens of thousands of genera throughout the fossil record. Van Valen proposed the Red Queen's Hypothesis, as an explanatory tangent to the Law of Extinction. The Red Queen's Hypothesis captures the idea that there is a constant 'arms race' between co-evolving species. Its name is a reference to the Red Queen's race in Lewis Carroll's Alice Through the Looking Glass, in which the chess board moves such that Alice must continue running just to stay in the same place
