Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection the demography of coevolving populations In Analysis of Evolutionary Processes Fabio Dercole and Sergio Rinaldi have written the first comprehensive book on Adaptive Dynamics AD a quantitative modeling approach that explicitly links evolutionary changes to demographic ones The book shows how the socalled AD canonical equation can answer questions of paramount interest in biology engineering and the social sciences especially economics After introducing the basics of evolutionary processes and classifying available modeling approaches Dercole and Rinaldi give a detailed presentation of the derivation of the AD canonical equation an ordinary differential equation that focuses on evolutionary processes driven by rare and small innovations The authors then look at important features of evolutionary dynamics as viewed through the lens of AD They present their discovery of the first chaotic evolutionary attractor which calls into question the common view that coevolution produces exquisitely harmonious adaptations between species And opening up potential new lines of research by providing the first application of AD to economics they show how AD can explain the emergence of technological variety Analysis of Evolutionary Processes will interest anyone looking for a selfcontained treatment of AD for selfstudy or teaching including graduate students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical biology applied mathematics and theoretical economics

Darwinism has ruled science for over 150 years but few today know the details of its lessthanstellar track record Its proponents offer false predictions plug colossal gaps of evidence with pure imagination and in some unfortunate cases even use it to justify taking innocent lives In Twenty Evolutionary Blunders Harvard graduate Randy Guliuzza shines a light on many of these shortcomings Learn how Hox genes contradicted Darwinist predictions fossil forgery is routinely tolerated in the evolutionary community useless biological organs turn out to be functional and other interesting stories from the history of evolutionary theory Rather than supporting Darwins theory an honest look at the evidence consistently undermines it Written in twenty brief chapters this book offers an insightful but broad evaluation of Darwinism and its scientific merits

Beneath the polished surface of the genteel social environments most often delineated in Edith Whartons fiction readers observe characters competing fiercely for desirable mates questing for social status and resources and plotting ruthlessly to advance their relatives fortunes in life This book identifies these and other evolutionary issues central to Edith Whartons fiction demonstrating their significance in terms of character setting plot and theme Connections to existing Wharton criticism are made throughout the book so that readers can see how an evolutionary perspective enriches refutes or reconfigures insights derived from other critical approaches

Discover information, advice, and prices for The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms, priced at 33.98 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Is Darwinian evolution really the most successful scientific theory ever proposedor even the best idea anyone has ever had as Daniel Dennett once put it The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms provides a comprehensive critical reading of the literature of evolutionary biology from Darwin to Dobzhansky to Dawkins revealing this popular account of evolution to be a grand narrative of Darwinian triumph that greatly overstates the empirical validity of modern evolutionary theory The mechanisms driving the evolutionary process truly remain a mystery more than one hundred fifty years after Origin of Species a fact that can free religion scholars to think in more creative ways about the positive contributions religious reflection might make to our understanding of lifes origin and diversity The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms calls for an embrace of mystery understood not as an abdication of the scientific quest for truth but as a courageous and humble acknowledgment of the limits of human reason and an openness to a fundamentally religious orientation toward life

In tracing the history of Darwins accomplishment and the trajectory of evolutionary theory during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries most scholars agree that Darwin introduced blind mechanism into biology thus banishing moral values from the understanding of nature According to the standard interpretation the principle of survival of the fittest has rendered human behavior including moral behavior ultimately selfish Few doubt that Darwinian theory especially as construed by the masters German disciple Ernst Haeckel inspired Hitler and led to Nazi atrocities In this collection of essays Robert J Richards argues that this orthodox view is wrongheaded A close historical examination reveals that Darwin in more traditional fashion constructed nature with a moral spine and provided it with a goal man as a moral creature The book takes up many other topicsincluding the character of Darwins chief principles of natural selection and divergence his dispute with Alfred Russel Wallace over mans big brain the role of language in human development his relationship to Herbert Spencer how much his views had in common with Haeckels and the general problem of progress in evolution Moreover Richards takes a forceful stand on the timely issue of whether Darwin is to blame for Hitlers atrocities Was Hitler a Darwinian is intellectual history at its boldest

The concept of fitness has long been a topic of intense debate among evolutionary biologists and their critics with its definition and explanatory power coming under attack In this book Richard Michod offers a fresh dynamical interpretation of evolution and fitness concepts He argues that evolution has no enduring products what matters is the process of genetic change Whereas many biologists have focused on competition and aggression as determining factors in survival Michod by concentrating on the emergence of individuality at new and more complex levels finds that cooperation plays even a greater role Michod first considers the principles behind the hierarchically nested levels of organization that constitute life genes chromosomes genomes cells multicellular organisms and societies By examining the evolutionary transitions from the molecular level up to the whole organism the author explains how cooperation and conflict in a multilevel setting leads to new levels of fitness He builds a model of fitness drawing on recent developments in ecology and multilevel selection theory and on new explanations of the origin of life Michod concludes with a discussion of the philosophical implications of his theory of fitness a theory that addresses the most fundamental and unique concept in all of biology
