We will post soon the talk by Professor Nesse given to the Darwin Club on 8.  April 2024.

Who would have thought that the ideas of “Lamarkian” vs. “Darwian” evolution have had such a extended history long before the “New Biology” came on the scene.

He gives concrete examples where explanations would have become more compelling. 2021-04-04T20:42:47+00:00 https://etss.net/index.php?/weblog/newsarticle/march_7_2021_sid_winter_on_evolution_of_knowledge/ https://etss.net/index.php?/weblog/newsarticle/march_7_2021_sid_winter_on_evolution_of_knowledge/#When:12:54:39Z Sid Winter gave a lecture on what we can broadly construe the evolution of knowledge.

More and more, I believe that we share all emotions with other species in the same way that we share virtually every organ in our bodies with them. No exceptions.” Read his full article in NY Times.com. 2019-03-09T09:45:49+00:00 https://etss.net/index.php?/weblog/newsarticle/may_20_2017/ https://etss.net/index.php?/weblog/newsarticle/may_20_2017/#When:14:36:13Z Sid Winter talks with Knowledge@Wharton about his new book on “history friendly evolutionary models”, which he co-authored with Franco Malerba, Richard Nelson, and Luigo Orsenigo. The book deals with the interactions between innovation and industry evolution. Winter gives a quick introduction to evolutionary economics and the scientific value of history-friendly simulations models.

Minerals should have the same property everywhere in the universe.  In this short 7-min video, Robert Hazen explains why an important branch in the science mineralogy has to be evolutionary:  the appearance of particular minerals has a history. They do not exist at all places in the universe and then do not exist in all times. Why and when minerals appear is the evolutionary branch of the science of mineralogy.  Watch Video. Here is a short piece that Hazen was written on mineral evolution. Hazen has also published an article with Niles Eldrege in which articulate their view of a general theory of evolution that is much broader than the one in biology.
