Distinguishing ecological from evolutionary approaches to transposable elements
transposable elements ecology evolution multivariate analysis philosophy of science
2016/6/14
Considerable variation exists not only in the kinds of transposable elements (TEs) occurring within the genomes of different species, but also in their abundance and distribution. Noting a similarity ...
Evolutionary Epistemology:Random Change in Science
evolutionary epistemology serendipity history of internal symmetries in particle physics
2016/6/14
cientific thought is generally characterized as methodical and rational. I would like to present here an opposing view which treats science as a non-systematic activity, where serendipity, tinkering a...

2016/6/14
Models of biological and cultural evolution that developed from the 19th century onward are characterized by two main features:(1)They were mostly centered on the unilinear transmission of cultural an...
Practice-oriented controversies and borrowed epistemic credibility in current evolutionary biology:phylogeography as a case study
evolutionary biology scientific practice scientific controversy phylogeography epistemic credibility coalescent population genetic and phylogenetic modeling
2016/6/12
Although there is increasing recognition that theory and practice in science are intimately intertwined, philosophy of science perspectives on scientific controversies have been historically focused o...
Deep Conventionalism about Evolutionary Groups
evolutionary group species population clade species cohesion conventionalism pluralism objectivity realism natural kinds science and values
2016/5/27
We argue for a new conventionalism about many kinds of evolutionary groups, including clades, cohesive units, and populations. This rejects a consensus, which says that given any one of the many legit...
Time and Fitness in Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality
Evolutionary transitions in individuality Okasha,Michod,MLS1 MLS2 species selection
2016/5/27
It is striking that the concept of fitness although fundamental in evolutionary theory, still remains ambiguous. I argue here that time, although usually neglected, is an important parameter in regard...
It appears to be a straightforward implication of distributed cognition principles that there is no integrated executive control system (e.g. Brooks 1991, Clark 1997). If distributed cognition is take...

2011/10/9
Although there is increasing recognition that theory and practice in science are often inseparably intertwined, discussions of scientific controversies often continue to focus on theory, and not pract...

Prediction in Selectionist Evolutionary Theory
Prediction Evolutionary Theory Explanatory Unification Fitting
2009/9/8
Selectionist evolutionary theory has often been faulted for not making novel predictions that are surprising, risky, and correct. I argue that it in fact exhibits the theoretical virtue of predictive ...
The Evolution of Darwin's Evolutionary Thinking
Darwin Lyell natural selection origin of morality geology

(1) Darwin inherited Lyell’s methodology and applied it to the animate beings. This led him, eventually, to the principle of natural selection. This principle enabled him to expel God from biology.(2)...

Models that fail to satisfy the Markov condition are unstable in the sense that changes in state variable values may cause changes in the values of background variables, and these changes in backgroun...
