❶ In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, the Red Queen takes Alice on a race through the countryside.
❷ They run and they run, but then Alice discovers that they’re still under the same tree that they started from.
❸ The Red Queen explains to Alice: “here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.”
❹ Biologists sometimes use this Red Queen Effect to explain an evolutionary principle.
❺ 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.
❻ Even though they might run, the two species just stay in place.
