In recent years, aspects of Darwinism have been widely discussed in psychiatry to explain the origins of mood disorders [1-3]. Authors were particularly focusing on the psychopathology of depression, while other considerations in the field of affective disorders have more broadly included the phenomena of mania [4] and temperament [5]. This paper will review aspects of Darwinism in the psychopa...

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...

Quantum Darwinism--the redundant encoding of information about a decohering system in its environment--was proposed to reconcile the quantum nature of our Universe with apparent classicality. We report the first study of the dynamics of quantum Darwinism in a realistic model of decoherence, quantum Brownian motion. Prepared in a highly squeezed state--a macroscopic superposition--the system lea...

While the terms "redundancy" and "consensus" are often used as synonyms in context of quantum objectivity, we show here that these should be understood two related but distinct notions, quantify different features quantum-to-classical transition. We main frameworks to measure namely spectrum broadcast structure Darwinism, best suited redundancy consensus, respectively. Furthermore, by analyzing...

The appraisal of scientific status evolution is a great attempt by Karl Popper to combine Darwinian theory with its falsification system. Compared other natural science theories, occupies special and important position in his philosophy Popper's the has experienced long process from "singular historical statement" "metaphysical research programme" "scientific theory", shifting denial approval. ...

J ohn Hunter, the acclaimed “father of scientifi c surgery,” understood human anatomy through a process of careful dissection. From 1750 to 1793, he revolutionized modern surgical anatomy through the dissection of thousands of human samples derived from fresh human cadavers, which came from fresh graves (1). He was credited with educating over 2000 surgeons globally based on the doctrine of obs...

We investigate the implications of quantum Darwinism in a composite system with interacting constituents exhibiting decoherence-free subspace. consider two-qubit coupled to an $N$-qubit environment via dephasing interaction. For excitation preserving interactions between qubits, analytical expression for dynamics is obtained. It demonstrates that part Hilbert space redundantly proliferates its ...

Neural Darwinism (ND), also called the Theory of Neuronal Group Selection (TNGS) is a biological theory of brain development and function which is based on evolutionary and developmental principles. ND highlights the importance of selectionist processes underlying these principles. The aim of this literature review is to capture and summarize the essentials of both ND and its theoretical extens...

The paper analyzes the incompatibility of Evolutionary Epistemology Theories (EET) with Charles Darwin’s theory evolution. argument consists four parts, each addressing a specific problem EET and offering examples. Firstly, advocates frequently misapply by asserting that evolution is teleological, which at odds Darwinism. Secondly, “universal Darwinism” underlying inconsistent relativism presen...
