Connie Barlow is an editor and interpreter of evolutionary thought who bridges scientific and theological frameworks, particularly through her 1995 anthology *Evolution Extended*, which positions evolutionary theory as central to contemporary meaning-making across disciplines. In the course readings, Barlow's work is cited as evidence of how evolutionary biology has expanded beyond its scientific boundaries to encompass broader philosophical and spiritual debates about life's significance, supporting arguments about the convergence of cybernetics, systems thinking, and cosmological narrative.
