Mass Extinctions vs. Uniformitarianism in Biological Evolution
It is usually believed that Darwin’s theory leads to a smooth gradual evolution, so that mass extinctions must be caused by external shocks. However, it has recently been argued that mass extinctions arise from the intrinsic dynamics of Darwinian evolution. Species become extinct when swept by intermittent avalanches propagating through the global ecology. These ideas are made concrete through ...
متن کاملEvolutionary uniformitarianism.
I present a new compilation of the distribution of the temporal distribution of new morphologies of marine invertebrates associated with the Ediacaran-Cambrian (578-510 Ma) diversification of Metazoa. Combining this data with previous work on the hierarchical structure of gene regulatory networks, I argue that the distribution of morphologies may be, in part, a record of the time-asymmetric gen...

متن کاملEmergence and Evolution of Patterns
We consider macroscopic systems driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium by an imposed gradient in temperature, velocity, or concentration. For a sufficiently small imposed gradient, a system will assume (asymptotically) the symmetry of the boundary conditions. However, when the imposed gradient exceeds a critical value, a system will spontaneously break the symmetry of the boundary condition...
متن کاملCoronavirus 2 Acute respiratory syndrome: Emergence, Evolution and thrapeutic prevention strategies
The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 that began in Wuhan, China, has constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and spread all over the world. In a phylogenetic network analysis of human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) genomes, three central variants were distinguished by amino acid changes, which named A, B, and C; with A being the ancestral type a...
