EvolutionTheoriesThe states of transcendence and affective discontinuities as features of the creative act are posited as analogous to Darwin's theory of evolution. The intellectual essence of Darwin's argument is that randomness processed through a selection system yields purpose. Some recent studies ...
Unlimited hereditary potentialLong term evolution rests on the ability of novel solutions, generated via mutation, to replicate. If the set of solutions that can be copied with high-enough fidelity is limited, no efficient evolutionary search can take place. This requirement for high enough fidelity...
difficulties which would appear to be insurmountable to Professor Kölliker, inasmuch as he proposes to replace Mr. Darwin’s Theory by one which he terms the “Theory of Heterogeneous Generation.” We shall proceed to consider first the destructive, and secondly, the constructive portion of the...
Furthermore, this study aligns Darwin's conception and representation of evolution with this shift in Romanticism. Driven by complex plots encrypted in minute and variational organic forms, Darwinian evolutionary theory is similarly founded upon chance, both formally and conceptually. In the years ...
Concludes that an evolutionary perspective is more appropriate than PLC-based approaches, and proposes an evolutionary model known as "Lamarckism", which is better able to account for the realities of product evolution than the Darwinian model.doi:10.1108/10610429910284292...
Narrowing the scope to humanity, the evolution model contends for the gradual evolution of the human species through a process of descent with modification from an ancestor shared with apes, while the creation model proposes the direct creation of humankind by God in his image....
In Becoming Undone, Elizabeth Grosz addresses three related concepts鈥攍ife, politics, and art鈥攂y exploring the implications of Charles Darwin's account of the evolution of species. Challenging characterizations of Darwin's work as a form of genetic determinism, Grosz shows that his writing ...
This article proposes to reassess Hayek's theory of cultural evolution in the light of Darwin's Descent of Man. It is shown that Hayek and Darwin refer to the same theory of human nature, which is borrowed from the founding fathers of political economy, Hume and Smith. Their respective ...
As a result, this thesis proposes an adaptive multi-variable optimizing control framework for AAVs called AERO (Another Evolutionary Robotic Optimizer). AERO consists of a layered software structure comprising Neo-Darwinian "directed evolution" techniques that generate time/energy tuned Behavior Tree ...

After recalling the origins and stakes of this thesis in contemporary evolutionary theory, I show that it can also...
