On Cellular Darwinism: Mitochondria

The significant role of mitochondria within cells is becoming increasingly clear. This letter uses the NKCS model of coupled fitness landscapes to explore aspects of organelle-nucleus coevolution. The phenomenon of mitochondrial diversity is allowed to emerge under a simple intracellular evolutionary process, including varying the relative rate of evolution by the organelle. It is shown how the...

Darwinism

Psycho-Social-Medicine - More than just another journal

Medicine has from its beginnings been an interpersonal experience. As George Engel [1] reminds us, the physician-patient relationship usually starts with the patient's disclosure of his or her perception of impaired health. This perception may or may not reflect major bodily changes, but it almost always reflects the intrapsychic appraisal of what is perceived as an altered physical or mental s...

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...
