Emergence of Thermodynamics from Darwinian Dynamics

Darwinian dynamics is manifestly stochastic and nonconservative, but has a profound connection to conservative dynamics in physics. In this short presentation the main ideas and logical steps leading to thermodynamics from Darwinian dynamics are discussed in a quantitative manner. It suggests that the truth of the second law of thermodynamics lies in the fact that stochasticity or probability is essential to describe Nature.
