The Last Attack on Darwinism*

An Attack on the Last Two Rounds of MD4

In (RiveSO] the MD4 message digest algorithm was introduced taking an input message of arbitrary length and producing an output 128-bit message digest. It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message. In this paper it is shown that if the three round MD4 algorithm...

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...

The Evolution of Darwinism

W hen biologists refer to the theory of evolution nowa­ days, they are usually think­ ing not of Charles Darwin'S original statement of the theory but of a modi­ fied and expanded version of Darwin­ ism that took shape in the 1930's and 1940's. First known as the Neo-Dar­ winian theory and later as the synthet­ ic theory, it affirmed the fundamental tenets of Darwinism. It held that evo­ lution...
