How Not to Argue for the Indeterminism of Evolution: A Look at Two Recent Attempts to Settle the Issue
determinism indeterminism Stamos Glymour evolution
2008/4/22
I examine recent debates in the philosophy of biology over the determinism or indeterminism of the evolutionary process, focusing on two papers in particular: Glymour 2001 and Stamos 2001. I argue tha...
Prospects for a dual inheritance model of emotional evolution
emotion evolution dual inheritance evolutionary psychology
2008/4/22
Dual inheritance (DI) models of cultural evolution have been criticized for likening cultural transmission to genetic (lateral) transmission. I argue that although these objections might pertain to th...
The Developmental Systems Perspective: Organism-environment systems as units of development and evolution
evolution Perspective
2008/4/21
Developmental systems theory is an attempt to sum up the ideas of a research tradition in developmental psychobiology that goes back at least to Daniel Lehrman’s work in the 1950s. It yields a represe...
Observations on Hyperplanes: I State Reduction and Unitary Evolution
state reduction unitary evolution hyperplane dependence
2008/4/15
This is the first of two papers responding (somewhat belatedly) to ‘recent’ commentary on various aspects of hyperplane dependence (HD) by several authors. In this paper I focus on the issues of the r...
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...
Quartz (2002) argues that some recent findings about the evolution of the brain (Finlay & Darlington, 1995) are inconsistent with evolutionary psychologists’ massive modularity hypothesis. In substanc...
Evolutionary processes such as natural selection and random drift are
commonly regarded as causes of population-level change. We respond to a
recent challenge that drift and selection are best und...

Hsp90-Induced Evolution: Adaptationist, Neutralist, and Developmentalist Scenarios
adaptationist developmental buffer evo-devo
2008/4/14
Recent work on the heat-shock protein Hsp90 by Rutherford and Lindquist (1998) has been included among the pieces of evidence taken to show the essential role of developmental processes in evolution; ...
CONTINUOUS VS DISCRETE PROCESSES: THE PROBABILISTIC EVOLUTION OF SINGLE TRAPPED IONS
quantum evolution atomic transitions continuity vs discretness
2008/4/11
The evolution of a single trapped ion exhibiting intermittent fluorescence and dark periods may be described either as a continuous process, using differential rate equations, or discretely, as a Mark...
Darwin argued for the biological basis of morality in his Descent of Man
(1871). Beginning with the thesis of the continuity of man and animals,
he tried to explain the origin of the moral sense, or...
Neural network models of protein domain evolution
models in biochemistry protein domain evolution neural networks ethics of modeling
2008/4/7
Protein domains are complex adaptive systems, and here a novel procedure is presented that models the evolution of new functional sites within stable domain folds using neural networks. Neural network...
