  In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking­-Glass, the Red Queen takes Alice on a race through the countryside.

 

  They run and they run, but then Alice discovers that they’re still under the same tree that they started from.

 

  The Red Queen explains to Alice: “here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.”

 

 

 

  Biologists sometimes use this Red Queen Effect to explain an evolutionary principle.

 

  If foxes evolve to run faster so they can catch more rabbits, then only the fastest rabbits will live long enough to make a new generation of bunnies that run even faster—in which case, of course, only the fastest foxes will catch enough rabbits to thrive and pass on their genes.

 

  Even though they might run, the two species just stay in place.
