Evolve to Survive

Biomimicry Life’s Principle #1: Evolve to Survive

This principle is about using the information you have to create long-lasting performance. We have successful examples of endurance all around us in nature. The problem is that sometimes they are hard to find. We may have to squint our eyes, climb a tree, or get down in the dirt, but if we look close enough we will find these beautiful examples.

Here are the lessons from the Biomimicry Institute: 

• Replicate strategies that work
  • Repeat successful approaches
• Integrate the unexpected
  • Incorporate mistakes in ways that can lead to new forms and functions
• Reshuffle information
  • Exchange and alter information to create new options
