Problems with Evolution: Macroevolution and the Fossil Record

In my previous letter in response to Graham Mark's 3/16/95 guest editorial defending evolutionary theory, I pointed out some of the difficulties a materialist has in accounting for noumenal categories and, in particular, the embarrassing difficulty the materialist faces in accounting for coded, symbolic information comprising the genome of the first living organism. In this letter my focus will...

Emerging Syntheses between Palaeobiogeography and Macroevolutionary Theory

PALAEOBIOGEOGRAPHY is a field marked by important intellectual insights and developments; recently the field has shown signs of emerging insights and new growth. This positive trajectory can be ascribed to several significant developments. Chief among these is our growing knowledge of the fossil record, involving the publication of more detailed palaeobiogeographic studies (Mawson et al. 1998; ...

On The Behavior of Malaysian Equities: Fractal Analysis Approach

Fractal analyzing of continuous processes have recently emerged in literatures in various domains. Existence of long memory in many processes including financial time series have been evidenced via different methodologies in many literatures in past decade, which has inspired many recent literatures on quantifying the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) characteristics of financial time series. Th...

The role of biotic forces in driving macroevolution: beyond the Red Queen.

A multitude of hypotheses claim that abiotic factors are the main drivers of macroevolutionary change. By contrast, Van Valen's Red Queen hypothesis is often put forward as the sole representative of the view that biotic forcing is the main evolutionary driver. This imbalance of hypotheses does not reflect our current knowledge: theoretical work demonstrates the plausibility of biotically drive...

Assessing the role of cladogenesis in macroevolution by integrating fossil and molecular evidence.

Assessing the extent to which population subdivision during cladogenesis is necessary for long-term phenotypic evolution is of fundamental importance in a broad range of biological disciplines. Differentiating cladogenesis from anagenesis, defined as evolution within a species, has generally been hampered by dating precision, insufficient fossil data, and difficulties in establishing a direct l...
