Neo-Darwinian

It is now possible to summarize the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution.

His principal research interest is the application of neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory to cultural and social selection.

In other words, a neo-Darwinian rationale for intrafamily murder!

As for camouflage, this is not always easily explicable on neo-Darwinian premises.

Lewontin has long been a critic of traditional neo-Darwinian approaches to adaptation.

He was one of the founders of the neo-Darwinian modern evolutionary synthesis.

Yet another view maintains that epigenetics can be accommodated within a neo-Darwinian framework.

Now the attempt must be made to bring together neo-Darwinian evolutionary biology and history to form a new way of understanding the human experience: biohistory."

The neo-Darwinian synthesis, first developed in the 1930s, eventually led to a gene-centered view of evolution in the 1960s.

"The most informative episode in the history of evolutionary biology was the establishment of the 'neo-Darwinian synthesis'."

First, as if we were biologists, trying to construct a neo-Darwinian story of 'art species'; how artists developed, how they succeeded, failed, survived.

Darwin was resolute in opposing this heresy, and neo-Darwinian orthodoxy follows his materialist lead.

Hence the choice of the exhibit's neo-Darwinian explanatory framework and the biological vocabulary its organizers employed to describe it.

This research was then used to test the validity of the neo-Darwinian theory, exposing as he says the "un-reality of the primary axiom".

Genetic studies of artificial hybrids between species have amply confirmed the neo-Darwinian expectation that they differ with respect to many distinct genes.

By the 1930s, statisticians and models built on statistical reasoning had helped to resolve these differences and to produce the neo-Darwinian modern evolutionary synthesis.

From a Neo-Darwinian perspective, evolution occurs when there are changes in the frequencies of alleles within a population of interbreeding organisms.

Hence, use of the term "macroevolution" is sometimes wrongly used as a litmus test of whether the writer is "properly" neo-Darwinian or not.

Apart from neo-Darwinian mechanisms such as mutation, translocation and duplication of genes, novelty may also arise by mutation-driven changes in gene regulation.

His criticisms of Neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory were focused on what he saw as unrealistic, "atomistic" models of both gene selection and trait evolution.

By creating that foundation, Morgan contributed to the neo-Darwinian synthesis, despite his criticism of Darwin at the beginning of his career.

On the origin of creoles: A Cartesian critique of Neo-Darwinian linguistics."

It is also referred to as the new synthesis, the modern synthesis, the evolutionary synthesis, millennium synthesis and the neo-Darwinian synthesis.

This mutationist view of evolution was later replaced by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with natural selection into a gradualistic framework for the neo-Darwinian synthesis.

He has also emerged as a prominent critic of what he characterizes as the ill-grounded Darwinian and neo-Darwinian theory of natural selection.

This book was predominantly a Neo-Lamarckian polemic against August Weismann, his compatriot Neo-Darwinian.
