Evolutionary biology of cancer
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2005Cancer is driven by the somatic evolution of cell lineages that have escaped controls on replication and by the population-level evolution of genes that influence cancer risk. We describe here how recent evolutionary ecological studies have elucidated the roles of predation by the immune system and competition among normal and cancerous cells in the ...

Evolutionary biology and feminism
Human Nature, 1992Evolutionary biology and feminism share a variety of philosophical and practical concerns. I have tried to describe how a perspective from both evolutionary biology and feminism can accelerate the achievement of goals for both feminists and evolutionary biologists.

Evolutionary Synthetic Biology
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2012Signaling networks process vast amounts of environmental information to generate specific cellular responses. As cellular environments change, signaling networks adapt accordingly. Here, I will discuss how the integration of synthetic biology and directed evolution approaches is shedding light on the molecular mechanisms that guide the evolution of ...

Evolutionary Biology and Psychiatry
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1993“Every one of the twenty-eight bones of the human skull has been inherited in an unbroken succession from the air-breathing fishes of the pre-Devonian seas.” (Gregory, 1967)

Evolutionary Economics and Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
, 1999 Present theorizing in economics is mainly directed towards two goals. First, there is the functionalist endeavor at explaining, or better rationalizing, why certain kinds of behavior and institutions can be observed in the economy. Second, efforts are made to attribute, in a hypothetico-normative manner, certain features, such as efficiency, equity, or

Evolutionary Biology and Evolutionary Economics
Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics, 1997The paper identifies two major conceptual challenges facing evolutionary economics and shows how they parallel similar challenges facing evolutionary and developmental biology. One issue is the differentiation between learning-by-doing, on one hand, and habit formation, on the other.

The recognition more than a decade ago that lipids presented by CD1 could function as T cell antigens revealed a startling and previously unappreciated complexity to the adaptive immune system. The initial novelty of lipid antigen presentation by CD1 has since given way to a broader perspective of the immune system's capacity to sense and respond to a ...

Systems Biology and Evolutionary Biology
2014In this chapter, I examine the recent development of systems biology in the light of its relations with evolutionary biology. Although a large part of systems biology is not basically interested in evolutionary issues, I show that it cannot ignore these. I focus particularly on the search of design principles, which are general principles of regulation

Resonance, 2002
“For a biologist”, wrote Sir Peter Medawar, “the alternative to thinking in evolutionary terms is not to think at all”. Yet, at the end of an education in biology in most Indian universities, this is not quite the view of evolutionary biology that one is left with. Evolution is presented summarily, almost as a footnote, rather than as a vital branch of
