Biological evolution, the theory of natural selection and of common descent, is a triumph both of human reasoning and scientific undertaking. The biological discipline of evolution contains both a chronicle of human endeavour and the story of life on Earth.

Acta Biotheoretica, 1968
Some theoretical examples of possibilities for natural selection in a prebiotic organic medium at the molecular level are given. These examples, presented in the form of simple kinetic models, are based on the idea that the occurrence of autocatalysis and self-duplication broke through the limitations imposed by contacts by chance with rare but ...

Abstract The chapter discusses the history of life on Earth, and the lessons to be learned from the neo-Darwinian synthesis of evolutionary biology. The long and complex sequence of events in the evolutionary history of life on Earth requires considered interpretation.

Human evolution is biological & technological evolution
Biosystems, 2020We are the human & machine species. The homo is just the inner part. The evolution of the human & machine species is oriented in time from the naked man to the man with progressively more powerful add-ons (artifacts, contrivances, devices, machines, science).

Consciousness and Biological Evolution
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1997It has been suggested that if the preservation and development of consciousness in the biological evolution is a result of natural selection, it is plausible that consciousness not only has been influenced by neural processes, but has had a survival value itself; and it could only have had this, if it had also been efficacious.

Economics and biological evolution
Environmental & Resource Economics, 1997The employment of insecticides raises the relative fitness of resistant insects; the use of antibiotics applies selection pressure in favour of resistant strains of bacteria; lower limits on fish net mesh size raises the advantages of smaller adults.
