Listening to scientist Nicola Clayton, Professor of Comparative Cognition at the University of Cambridge, and choreographer Mark Baldwin, Artistic Director at Rambert Dance Company, finishing each other’s sentences, one could get the impression that the notorious divide between the two cultures never existed. Science and dance are twins separated at birth, it appears. Both work with ideas witho...

has discussed the relationship between social learning and the family of postulated evolutionary processes that includes 'organic selection', 'coincident selection', 'autonomisation', 'the Baldwin effect' and 'genetic assimilation'. In all these processes a trait which initially develops in the members of a population as a result of some interaction with the environment comes to develop without...

the lateral field. The basal layer, averaging 0.5 /~m in thickness, has vertical striations with a periodicity of approx. 0.025 /~m. At the edges of the lateral field this layer becomes forked and is replaced, under the field, by two obliquely oriented fiber layers (Fig. 3), each of which appears to be composed of many fibrils. A thin, often discontinous electron-transparent zone separates the ...

The Baldwin effect is known as an possible interaction between learning and evolution, where individual lifetime learning can influence the course of evolution without using any Lamarckian mechanism. Our concern is to consider the Baldwin effect in dynamic environments, especially when there is no explicit optimal solution through generations and this solution depends only on interactions among...

The Baldwin e ect is known as interactions between learning and evolution, which suggests that individual lifetime learning can in uence the course of evolution without the Lamarckian mechanism. Our concern is to consider the Baldwin e ect in dynamic environments, especially when there is no explicit optimal solution through generations and it depends only on interactions among agents. We adopt...
