Evolutionary Theoretician Edward D. Cope and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis Debate

چکیده
Abstract The Modern Synthesis (MS) gene-centered population model of evolution is currently being challenged by the Extended Evolutionary (ESS) organism-centered developmental evolution. predictions EES are here examined with respect to arguments Edward Drinker Cope (1840–1897) for an evolutionary process in which organisms both shape and shaped their environments such that activities themselves play a role own

Why an extended evolutionary synthesis is necessary
Since the last major theoretical integration in evolutionary biology-the modern synthesis (MS) of the 1940s-the biosciences have made significant advances. The rise of molecular biology and evolutionary developmental biology, the recognition of ecological development, niche construction and multiple inheritance systems, the '-omics' revolution and the science of systems biology, among other dev...
متن کاملDo we need an extended evolutionary synthesis?
The Modern Synthesis (MS) is the current paradigm in evolutionary biology. It was actually built by expanding on the conceptual foundations laid out by its predecessors, Darwinism and neo-Darwinism. For sometime now there has been talk of a new Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES), and this article begins to outline why we may need such an extension, and how it may come about. As philosopher K...
متن کاملAn extended synthesis for evolutionary biology.
Evolutionary theory is undergoing an intense period of discussion and reevaluation. This, contrary to the misleading claims of creationists and other pseudoscientists, is no harbinger of a crisis but rather the opposite: the field is expanding dramatically in terms of both empirical discoveries and new ideas. In this essay I briefly trace the conceptual history of evolutionary theory from Darwi...
متن کاملThe extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions.
Scientific activities take place within the structured sets of ideas and assumptions that define a field and its practices. The conceptual framework of evolutionary biology emerged with the Modern Synthesis in the early twentieth century and has since expanded into a highly successful research program to explore the processes of diversification and adaptation. Nonetheless, the ability of that f...
