I think that that is a Darwinian there's a Darwinian purpose to this.

Denis Dutton A Darwinian theory of beauty

And Darwinian evolution is really the core theory.

I think there's a Darwinian purpose to this.

So, this made evolution suddenly Lamarckian, instead of Darwinian.

Darwinian evolution is slow it takes hundreds of thousands of years.

And when I say manipulated, I'm talking about in a Darwinian sense, right?

The first wave of evolution is what we think of as Darwinian evolution.

The experience of beauty is one component in a whole series of Darwinian adaptations.

So, cure for self importance, way to sort of make us feel the Darwinian idea.

Your Honor, the court has ruled out any evidence as to scientific knowledge or the Darwinian theory.

The best answer lies in trying to reconstruct a Darwinian evolutionary history of our artistic and aesthetic tastes.

And yet, despite all of that Darwinian evolution and natural selection, they've been constrained to lie on a line.

Darwinian natural selection is so stunningly elegant because it solves the problem of explaining complexity in terms of nothing but simplicity.

And when I talk about Darwinian evolution, I mean one thing and one thing only, and that is survival of the fittest.

Now, in the evolution game here, the creature scale, basically you have to eat, survive, and then reproduce. You know, very Darwinian.

This doesn't bother me so much, that the underlying Darwinian rationale of compassion is kind of self serving at the genetic level.

It's easy to dismiss this as the perhaps well intentioned but ultimately benighted musings of an eighteenth century scientist working in the pre Darwinian era.

Keep in mind that, although it looks as if each individual is acting to cooperate, what's really going on is a kind of selfish Darwinian behavior.

So bearing that in mind, as a chemist, I wanted to ask myself the question frustrated by biology What is the minimal unit of matter that can undergo Darwinian evolution?

Then human beings stepped out of the Darwinian flow of evolutionary history and created the second great wave of evolution, which was we changed the environment in which we evolved.

These wounds cannot be instantly healed. Communism s fall unleashed a huge surge of human energy, but this started with a bizarre and cynical transfer of privileges and assets within the old nomenklatura, and with a new general Darwinian struggle.

And some will oppose competition policy and strong corporate governance laws let Darwinian survival work its wonders. Growth arguments will be advanced to counter strong social and environmental policies higher gasoline taxes, for example, will kill our nascent auto industry.

There is an adaptive logic to being kind to those with whom we continually interact we scratch their backs, they scratch ours. But there is no Darwinian payoff to sacrificing our resources to anonymous strangers, particularly those in faraway lands.

As an intellectual matter, looking at the world from other species' points of view helps us deal with this weird anomaly, which is and this is in the realm of intellectual history which is that we have this Darwinian revolution 150 years ago ...

Human races that according to physical anthropologists of 30, 40 years ago Carlton Coon is the best example had been diverging from each other this was in the post Darwinian era for over a million years, since the time of Homo erectus.

21st century science is going to be driven by the integration of these two ideas the triumph of relational ways of thinking about the world, on the one hand, and self organization or Darwinian ways of thinking about the world, on the other hand.

The result is that human beings are no longer really a part of nature the survival of our species no longer depends on our ability to compete in the Darwinian jungle. We depend on our social structure and technology, rather than on our genes.

Darwin, unlike many of his more dogmatic followers, saw a role for induced variation in evolution. Today, in the light of the newly discovered epigenetic mechanisms, Darwinian evolution should include descent with epigenetic as well as genetic modifications, and natural selection of induced as well as random variations.

Nevertheless, Europeans generally agree that their societies produce the best lifestyles, even if their economies are less efficient than America s in a Darwinian sense. Thus, European finance ministers, too, will not be keen to admit any need for major policy changes to deal with risks from financial globalization.

In 1976, the biologist Richard Dawkins identified the unit of Darwinian selection as the selfish gene. The evolutionary story was now recast as a battle of genes to secure their survival over time by means of mutations, which create individuals (phenotypes) best adapted to pass on their genes.

We have this intellectual, this Darwinian revolution in which, thanks to Darwin, we figured out we are just one species among many evolution is working on us the same way it's working on all the others we are acted upon as well as acting we are really in the fiber, the fabric of life.

If the fact that we are the only human species left on earth is the result of an historical accident rather than Darwinian competition, we can open our minds and accept that we share some of our culture with both our living and no longer living relatives. Our modernity is probably a part of their legacy as well.

The Darwinian theory of evolution has long been a dirty word among Republicans as well. Rick Perry, the governor of Texas and an early frontrunner in the Republican primary, called it just a theory out there, while Romney himself has had to argue that it is consistent with creationism the idea that an intelligent force designed the universe and brought it into being.
