One would probably not exaggerate if the famous saying of evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobhzhansky, that “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution” should nowadays be reframed as “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of information.” But are those two concepts, evolution and information, somehow internally related? And if so, how?
