Does Natural Selection Select for Natural Selection?
2021Humanity’s colossal ecological crisis is an explicit function of our architectural and socially enforced spaces of occupancy, plots of arrogation, the places in which we choose to live, altering our surroundings, inventing and constructing “our” possessions.

Natural language and natural selection [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1990 AbstractMany people have argued that the evolution of the human language faculty cannot be explained by Darwinian natural selection. Chomsky and Gould have suggested that language may have evolved as the by-product of selection for other abilities or as a consequence of as-yet unknown laws of growth and form.

Natural Selection—its power compared with man’s selection—its power on characters of trifling importance—its power at all ages and on both sexes—Sexual Selection—On the generality of intercrosses between individuals of the same species—Circumstances favourable and unfavourable to Natural Selection, namely, intercrossing, isolation, number of ...

Natural Selection on an Isoallele [PDF]
Nature, 1963 IN Drosophila pseudoobscura a genetic factor has previously been described1, the only observable effect of which is to cause a small change in the banding pattern of the third polytene chromosome. This factor behaves in crosses as a simple recessive gene, and has been named ‘salivary’ (sal).

Although many research studies report students’ Lamarckian misconceptions, only a few studies present learning and teaching strategies that focus on the successful development of the concept of natural selection. The learning and teaching strategy for upper secondary students (aged 15–16) presented in this study conducted in The Netherlands is based on

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1995
Abstract A model that unifies all types of selection (chemical, sociological, genetical, and every other kind of selection) may open the way to develop a general “Mathematical Theory of Selection” analogous to communication theory. [ Note added by S. A. Frank: This previously unpublished manuscript was found among Dr.

Natural Selection and Evolution
1987Important theoretical concepts tend to resist satisfactory definition (cf. Stigler, 1957). Such concepts are in the service of the expansive ambitions of the theories in which they occur, and must accordingly respond flexibly to the changing requirements for maintaining order in a changing intellectual empire. The term ‘evolution’ — obviously important

Nature, 1998
Evidence indicates that the Earth self-regulates at a state that is tolerated by life, but why should the organisms that leave the most descendants be the ones that contribute to regulating their planetary environment? The evolving Gaia theory focuses on the feedback mechanisms, stemming from naturally selected traits of organisms, that could generate ...
