Is Neural Darwinism Darwinism?
Artificial Life, 1997Neural Darwinism is a theory of cognition developed by Gerald Edelman along with George Reeke and Olaf Sporns at Rockefeller University. As its name suggests, neural Darwinism is modeled after biological Darwinism, and its authors assert that the two processes are strongly analogous.

Darwinism and Social Darwinism
2009From the 1830s, doctrines of creationism were increasingly challenged, initially by geological discoveries and then by evolutionary theories, which were first applied to animal and plant species, and later extended to humanity. Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, introduced in 1859 in The Origin of Species, led to the emergence of the term ...

Reflections on Darwin and Darwinizing
Victorian Studies, 2009Although there is a vast literature about Darwin there remains an urgent need, particularly in the field of literary studies, for greater understanding of his work. This essay examines current trends in Darwinian criticism, contrasting Literary Darwinism--which seeks in literature the "human nature" being defined by evolutionary psychology--with other ...

There is widespread agreement among contemporary philosophers of biology and philosophically-minded biologists that Darwin's insights about the intrusion of chance processes into biological regularities undermines the possibility of there being biological laws.

Public Understanding of Science, 2002
We are concerned with a particular rhetorical narrative that appeared in the early stages of the Darwin debate but that has been fiercely resurgent in the past two decades. Freud wrote of Darwin's theory as one of three major blows to which human vanity had been submitted at the hands of science.

2018
In the forty-plus years, from the time of the Descent in 1871 to the time of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, people influenced by or responding to Darwin’s thinking wrote extensively on the nature of war. Often, religious upbringing—as for Herbert Spencer and Alfred Russel Wallace—infused discussions showing how really the whole debate was

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2017
The Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock was co-developed with and vigorously promoted by Lynn Margulis, but most mainstream Darwinists scorned and still do not accept the notion. They cannot imagine selection for global stability being realized at the level of the individuals or species that make up the biosphere.

Evolutionary theory seems to lend itself to all sorts of misunderstanding. In this paper I strive to decrease such confusions, for example, between Darwinism and Darwinians, propositions and people, organisms and individuals, species as individuals versus species as classes, homologies and homoplasies, and finally essences versus histories.

Introduction: Darwinism After Darwin
2012The Modern Synthesis reconciles Darwinian evolution with Mendelian genetics. Mathematical biologists had undertaken experiments since the 1920s to prove that natural (or primary) selection of genes is responsible for the evolutionary process; however, not until the following decade, with the work of R. A. Fisher (1890–1962), J. B. S. Haldane (1892–1964)
