متن کاملIt Is a Story
[Note: These pages were my rough private notes that I made in preparation for the talk I gave. Needless to say, I didn’t cover all this material in my talk. I am willing, but hesitant, to put it on the web because of three reasons, the primary one being that I haven’t yet put in proper references for any of the results cited. The second reason is that in its next draft I will be separating much...
متن کاملEssays on Darwinism 3: Genic and Organismic Selection
The notion that genes play a uniquely distinguished rôle in biological evolution has been championed by Richard Dawkins (1976; 1989b). Furthermore, Dawkins has argued that this idea can be generalised in a way which makes it applicable to any properly Darwinian evolutionary process, at least if that process gives rise to a growth in adaptive complexity (Dawkins 1983). It is evident, therefore, ...
متن کاملThe C-MYB story--is it definitive?
T he MYB gene family has provided examples that bear on two interesting questions in evolutionary biology. Why do duplicated genes persist in the face of purifying selection? How do new organs arise? All vertebrate animal species are believed to have three closely related MYB genes (C-MYB/ MYB, A-MYB/MYBL1, and B-MYB/ MYBL2) (1). Most invertebrate animal species examined thus far have a single ...
متن کاملSocial Darwinism Lives! (Should it?)
Sociobiology has made a resurgence in recent years, but has become enmeshed in political controversy. Indeed, much of the work in sociobiology has been used to justify repressive or racist measures. It is argued that the unfortunate alliance of some sociobiologists and politicians is a poor basis for discrediting the field itself; that a science of sociobiology is possible and, if we seek to kn...
