This theory was proposed by Leigh Van Valen to explain that because evolution of one species may result in the extinction of another, both species must be constantly evolving in order to stay extant.
The scientist that first proposed this theory described it as explaining the way that trophic energy is a major controller of life. Graham Bell expanded this theory to also explain why some organisms use meiosis to only pass on half of their individual genes to their offspring. An example of this would be the natural selection of foxes that run fast enough to catch rabbits, and the subsequent selection of rabbits that are able to outrun those faster foxes. This theory was proposed by Leigh Van Valen to explain that because evolution of one species may result in the extinction of another, both species must be constantly evolving in order to stay extant. For 10 points, name this hypothesis that uses a quote from a fictional character to explain the evolutionary arms race and the advantages of sexual reproduction.
