Dynamics,Symmetry,and the Levels of Selection
levels of selection natural selection group selection evolutionary process dynamics symmetry symmetry transformation
2016/6/13
Most attempts to answer the question of whether populations of groups can undergo natural selection focus on properties of the groups themselves rather than the dynamics of the population. Those appro...

En la Teoría de la Selección Natural, el concepto de función biológica debe suponerse para delimitar el concepto de aptitud; y éste debe suponerse para delimitar el concepto de adaptación y también pa...
Darwin's Explanation of Races by Means of Sexual Selection
Descent of Man Adrian Desmond female choice vs. male choice James Moore race sexual selection
2016/5/30
In Darwin's Sacred Cause, Adrian Desmond and James Moore contend that "Darwin would put his utmost into sexual selection because the subject intrigued him, no doubt, but also for a deeper reason: the ...
How Do Natural Selection and Random Drift Interact?
"natural selection" fitness probability drift
2011/9/6
One controversy about the existence of so called evolutionary forces such as natural selection and random genetic drift concerns the sense in which such "forces" can be said to interact. In this paper...
The purpose of this paper is to propose an extension to Lee Smolin's hypothesis that our own universe belongs to a population of universes which have evolved by natural selection. Smolin's hypothesis ...
Coherence, Consistency, and Cohesion: Clade Selection in Okasha and Beyond.
Cohesion Consistency Coherence
2008/4/22
Samir Okasha argues that clade selection is an incoherent concept, because the relation that constitutes clades is such that it renders parent-offspring (reproduction) relations between clades impossi...
Self-Induced Selection: A New Approach to Quantum Decoherence
Decoherence Quantum Mechanics
2008/4/22
According to Zurek, decoherence is a process resulting from the interaction between a quantum system and its environment; this process singles out a preferred set of states, usually called “pointer ba...
Thinking About Evolutionary Mechanisms: Natural Selection
mechanisms natural selection evolution
2008/4/21
This paper explores whether natural selection, a putative evolutionary mechanism, and a main one at that, can be characterized on either of the two dominant conceptions of mechanism, due to Glennan an...
In this paper, it is argued that selection and drift might be distinct. This contradicts recent arguments by Brandon (forthcoming) and Matthen and Ariew (2002) that such a distinction “violates sound ...
Natural Selection as a Population-Level Causal Process
natural selection evolution, causation
2008/4/15
Recent discussions in the philosophy of biology have brought into question some fundamental assumptions regarding evolutionary processes, natural selection in particular. Some authors argue that natur...
Multi-Level Selection and the Major Transitions in Evolution
levels of selection units of selection major transitions
2008/4/15
A number of recent biologists have used multi-level selection theory to help explain the major transitions in evolution. I argue that in doing so, they have shifted from a ‘synchronic’ to a ‘diachroni...
How Do Natural Selection and Random Drift Interact?
Random Drift Interact Natural Selection

One controversy about the existence of so called evolutionary forces such as natural selection and random genetic drift concerns the sense in which such "forces" can be said to interact. In this paper...
Distinguishing Drift and Selection Empirically:“The Great Snail Debate” of the 1950s
adaptationism Arthur J. Cain conspicuous polymorphism
2008/4/11
Biologists and philosophers have been extremely pessimistic about the possibility of demonstrating random drift in nature, particularly when it comes to distinguishing random drift from natural select...
Two strong arguments have been given in favour of the claim that no selection process whatever can play a role in explaining adaptations. According to the first one, selection is a negative force; it ...
Adaptive speciation: The role of natural selection in mechanisms of geographic and non-geographic speciation
Speciation mechanisms Isolating mechanisms
2008/4/9
Recent discussion of mechanism has suggested new approaches to several issues in the philosophy of science, including theory structure, causal explanation, and reductionism. Here, I apply what I take ...
