We study one dimension in program evolution, namely the evolution of the datatype declarations in a program.
Our complex social lives are probably the dominant force in human evolution, driving the evolution of intelligence, creativity, language, and even consciousness.
The majority of detected subcellular relocalization events occurred early in animal evolution, preceding the evolution of tetrapods.
For example, in one process, X and Y coevolve according to the phylogenetic tree any change in Y during evolution influences the evolution of X, and vice versa.
In some ways, his evolution mirrors the evolution of the computer industry itself.
Understanding constraints on phenotypic plasticity is central to explaining its evolution and the evolution of phenotypes in general, yet there is an ongoing debate on the classification and relationships among types of constraints.
Learning more about the most common forms of DNA breakage is important because the genomic changes caused by these breaks are driving forces behind both cancer and evolution, including the evolution of drug resistance in bacteria.
There is great interest in understanding the genomic underpinnings of social evolution, in particular, the evolution of eusociality (caste-containing societies with non-reproductives that care for siblings).
Generally, many open questions remain about the interactions between the various systems and about their evolution, in particular the evolution of social learning and the evolution of language.
Linguists have become much more interested in language evolution in general, and in the evolution of syntax in particular, in recent years.
