Problems with Evolution: Macroevolution and the Fossil Record
In my previous letter in response to Graham Mark's 3/16/95 guest editorial defending evolutionary theory, I pointed out some of the difficulties a materialist has in accounting for noumenal categories and, in particular, the embarrassing difficulty the materialist faces in accounting for coded, symbolic information comprising the genome of the first living organism. In this letter my focus will...
متن کاملSpatial Bias in the Marine Fossil Record
Inference of past and present global biodiversity requires enough global data to distinguish biological pattern from sampling artifact. Pertinently, many studies have exposed correlated relationships between richness and sampling in the fossil record, and methods to circumvent these biases have been proposed. Yet, these studies often ignore paleobiogeography, which is undeniably a critical comp...
متن کاملEvolutionary innovations in the fossil record: the intersection of ecology, development, and macroevolution.
The origins of evolutionary innovations have been intensively studied, but relatively little is known about their large-scale ecological patterns. For post-Paleozoic benthic marine invertebrates, which have the richest and most densely sampled fossil record, order-level taxa tend to appear first in onshore, disturbed habitats, even in groups that are now exclusively deep-water (so that present-...
متن کاملLong-Range Correlations in the Fossil Record and the Fractal Nature of Macroevolution
SFI Working Papers contain accounts of scientific work of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Santa Fe Institute. We accept papers intended for publication in peer-reviewed journals or proceedings volumes, but not papers that have already appeared in print. Except for papers by our external faculty, papers must be based on work done at SFI, inspired by an invited vis...
متن کاملPreservational bias controls the fossil record of pterosaurs.
Pterosaurs, a Mesozoic group of flying archosaurs, have become a focal point for debates pertaining to the impact of sampling biases on our reading of the fossil record, as well as the utility of sampling proxies in palaeodiversity reconstructions. The completeness of the pterosaur fossil specimens themselves potentially provides additional information that is not captured in existing sampling ...
