To this new crop of researchers on aging — those who look at the extension of life at a cellular or evolutionary level — growing old now seems less an immutable fact of human existence than a chronic disease that can be delayed and treated and manipulated as if it were diabetes or high cholesterol.
Some evolutionary biologists grow quickly impatient with doctors who do not already know all about evolutionary biology.
The future evolutionary scientist grew up in Ada, Oklahoma, the birthplace of Oral Roberts.
"We are planted on the earth, go through the evolutionary stages of growing.
The notorious and brilliant American trial lawyer Clarence Darrow who acted in the famous Scopes Monkey trial in defence of evolutionary theory had, growing up, "a nonconforming spirit, a sceptical mind, and freelance politics that drifted toward cynicism".
MA is one of the recent growing evolutionary computation algorithms.
The finding supports an existing idea that the three master limb-replacers last shared a common ancestor about 420 million years ago, and it suggests that the evolutionary process of growing limbs is saved over time, not developed independently in separate species, the researchers report today in PLOS ONE.
As recent thinking in evolutionary biology, notably the rapidly growing field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) has emphasised, an organism is a developmental process.
The length of human history and prehistory, as implied by evolutionary theory and the growing archaeological discoveries, precluded looking upon the Vedic hymns as anything but late; though the contents showed them to be highly artificial and complex compilations for use in a priest-dominated ritual context, they were not at that time seen as spontaneous outpourings of the human spirit.
Yet the constancy of growth in response to fishing potentially hides a considerable evolutionary change toward slower growing genotypes.
