Evolutionary Theory s Welcome Crisis

Yeah. I think it's evolutionary.

So now you have an evolutionary excuse.

So in evolutionary scales, movements get better.

DG Well, you know, the people who are most skeptical about leaping to evolutionary explanations for everything are the evolutionary psychologists themselves.

It's an inherent nature of an evolutionary process.

And it has not stopped its evolutionary path.

Because evolution works, we actually have some evolutionary tools.

We've developed this ability because it makes evolutionary sense.

There's a basic, profound acceleration of this evolutionary process.

Lying has evolutionary value to us as a species.

It's really not a very friendly field for evolutionary biologists.

And this is an example of a successful evolutionary run.

We're sort of circumventing evolutionary programs that guide our behavior.

If you could cause an evolutionary decrease in virulence by cleaning up the water supply, you should be able to get an evolutionary decrease in antibiotic resistance.

Now this is an interesting chart, and this really gets at the fundamental reason why an evolutionary process and both biology and technology are evolutionary processes accelerate.

It is really our greatest one of our greatest evolutionary sequences.

What we're doing is we are seizing control of our evolutionary future.

I mean, these things sound trite, but they are deep evolutionary truths.

The combination of two fundamental human impulses the evolutionary propensity to move and the evolutionary propensity to distrust newcomers, who frequently brought disease, famine and war often gave rise to tension.

And evolutionary psychologists think that these intuitions have a basis in the genes.

And when evolutionary biologists talk about design, they really mean design by natural selection.

His famous evolutionary tree could almost be a diagram of the way we work.

But there are ways in which our evolutionary history can really trip us up.

Later, I would work on evolutionary genetics, and I would work on systems biology.

But now there's this third co evolutionary force algorithms the Boston Shuffler, the Carnival.

In fact, they might be due to the very nature of our evolutionary history.

What I've shown you here is sometimes called a major transition in evolutionary history.

A couple of them were students in a course I was giving on evolutionary biology.

We are not the determined product of billions of years of evolutionary plotting and planning.

But that is where the Tasmanian devil cancer has acquired an absolutely amazing evolutionary adaptation.

That's only about 2,000 human generations, the blink of an eye in an evolutionary sense.

It's good that compassion was extended beyond the family by this kind of evolutionary logic.

You know, think of our evolutionary predilection for eating sweet things, fatty things like cheesecake.

But now, we can reverse engineer that and build worlds that expressly tick our evolutionary boxes.

Well, there's a sense which I agree with him, except I think it has an evolutionary explanation.

Now, after five generations of applying evolutionary process, the genetic algorithm is getting a tiny bit better.

We're still trying to explain and come to terms with what is the evolutionary advantage of this.

Now, there's more good news that came along later in evolution, a second kind of evolutionary logic.

The reform of the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management has been both revolutionary and evolutionary.

Nelson, R.R. and Winter, S.J. (1982), An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change, Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press.

My guess is that there's nothing quite that specific in our evolutionary past. But rather, if you're looking for an evolutionary explanation, you might say that most organisms are neo phobic that is, they're a little scared of stuff that's new and different.
