Darwinism in Quantum Systems?

We find quantum mechanics playing a role in evolutionary dynamics described by the notion of an Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS). An ESS being a refinement of Nash equilibrium concept is a stable strategy in an evolutionary game with replicator dynamic as the underlying process. We investigate ESSs in two and three player symmetric quantum games played by the proposed scheme of applying ′id...

Social Darwinism in France

women needed a little, and, more frequently, immigrants needed less than the native-born, while black men and women had a natural immunity to pain. In general, the available surgical records of hospitals in the late nineteenth century show these theoretical ideas reflected in the actual frequency of anaesthesia used for different groups of patients. Pernick's account displays the many arguments...

Systemic darwinism.

Darwin's 19th century evolutionary theory of descent with modification through natural selection opened up a multidimensional and integrative conceptual space for biology. We explore three dimensions of this space: explanatory pattern, levels of selection, and degree of difference among units of the same type. Each dimension is defined by a respective pair of poles: law and narrative explanatio...
