Development and the Baldwin Effect

Baldwin's classic hypothesis states that behavioral plasticity can speed evolution by (a) smoothing the fitness landscape and (b) indirect genetic assimilation of acquired characteristics. This latter phase demands a strong correlation between genotype and phenotype space. But the natural world shows signs of this correlation at only a very coarse level, since the intervening developmental proc...

Myths and Legends of the Baldwin Effect

This position paper argues that the Baldwin effectis widely misunderstood by the evolutionarycomputation community. The misunderstandingsappear to fall into two general categories. Firstly,it is commonly believed that the Baldwin effect isconcerned with the synergy that results whenthere is an evolving population of learning indi-viduals. This is only half of the sto...

The Intermediate Line Region and the Baldwin

Statistical investigations of samples of quasars have established that clusters of properties are correlated. The strongest trends among the ultraviolet emission-line properties are characterized by the object-to-object variation of emission from low-velocity gas, the so-called \intermediate-line region" or ILR. The strongest trends among the optical emission-line properties are characterized b...
