Essentially, Robinson attempts to apply scientific thinking to politics, approaching it less like pure physics, in which one infallible equation / ideology explains and answers everything, than like engineering — a process of what F.D.R. once called "bold, persistent experimentation," finding out what works and combining successful elements to synthesize something new.
John Wilkins's book admirably tackles the first question by means of the second - offering a deep, thorough, and contextualized understanding of the species problem, clarifying a number of essential issues in that debate, and, in the process, correcting a number of persistent misconceptions about the idea of species from Plato to Darwin.

In this scenario, clustering is therefore a dynamic process where groups of persistent genes form and vanish in the course of generations but in the absence of other selective forces requires high population sizes.
Even a cursory acquaintance with the history of science will show that we are where we are now only through a persistent process of replacing beliefs we once held to be true, but no longer hold to be true.
We speculate that DAMP-induced TLR signaling might serve as the critical "switch" that, when turned on, converts a self-limited tissue repair process into one of persistent and unchecked fibroblasts activation resulting in progressive fibrosis in SSc.
EMT is a vital process during embryogenesis (Type I EMT), but can also be induced as a result of persistent damage and tissue inflammation [1],[1]],[1]].
