Twenty-five rock specimens map out Texas's geology; the genetic foundations of evolution whiz by.
That undergraduate experience set Godfrey-Smith on a path of intellectual discovery that he pursues to this day, one that focuses on the philosophy of mind and the philosophical foundations of evolution theory.
At the turn of the century, pioneers in the field of population genetics, such as J. B. S. Haldane, Sewall Wright, and Ronald Fisher, set the foundations of evolution onto a robust statistical philosophy.
In Wichita, the conservative incumbent, Mary Douglass Brown, said the new standards "put a little crack in the foundation" of evolution scientists, "their money, their books, their schools".
His works include three monographs published by Princeton University Press: Dynamics of Cancer, Immunology and Evolution of Infectious Disease, and Foundations of Social Evolution.
Steven A. Frank is Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine, and the author of Foundations of Social Evolution (Princeton).
Natural selection, random genetic mutations, and raw competition for food and mating privileges, which form the foundation of Darwinian evolution, either don't apply to us anymore or have been drastically minimized, pushed to the fringes while mental evolution occupies center stage.
These findings contribute toward our understanding of micro-foundations of capability evolution in the context of a replication strategy, by uncovering the dual workings of organizational context elements in both enabling and challenging middle managers' knowledge search actions.
However, the theoretical foundation of process evolution functions is not trivial, therefore we are following the ansatz of C. A. R. Hoare for introducing communicating sequential processes [24] and start with grossly oversimplified examples which are successively extended to more complex problems.
The disproportionate distribution of the eukaryote/opisthokont core and insect-specific sets may be at the very foundation of insect evolution.
In the 19th century, evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin pointed out that breeding led to striking differences between farm animals and plants and their wild counterparts, an observation that helped lay the foundation for his theory of evolution.
