In modern biology, natural selection is a process whereby species that have traits that enable them to adapt in an environment survive and reproduce, and then pass on their genes to the next generation. Natural selection applied in a financial context assumes that companies that are able to adap...
“The reason there are no humanlike robots … is that the engineering problems that we humans solve as we see and walk and plan and make it through the day are far more challenging than landing on the moon or sequencing the human genome." The reason for AI to match humans “The chicken...
To answer this scientific question is substantially to understand how the genes that determine these traits are subject to natural and sexual selection, and how they thereby involve the innovation mechanics and evolution mechanisms with respect to development. Increasing evidence in recent 10 years ...
How does mutation contribute to changes in the gene pool? How does microevolution affect a gene pool? How is the gene pool changed? How does the gene pool stagnate? How does cloning affect the gene pool? How does natural selection affect single-gene versus polygenic traits?
However, it is well known that intraspecific variability can be quite large for many traits – indeed, evolution by natural selection demands significant intraspecific variation in traits. Determining when and how to incorporate this variability is a major challenge for trait based ecology. Here we ...

Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
How does it relate to natural selection, sexual selection, genetic drift, and migration? Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium determines the state of balance of genes in the gene pool of the population. This equilibrium ...
2021a). We found that group members’ personalities (using the ‘Big Five’ personality traits), their preference scenarios (i.e., whether their preferences are aligned or not aligned with the preferences of the majority in the group), and the type of relationship they have in the group (...
Stabilising selection can maintain many traits close to their optima, even when the underlying alleles are weakly selected. However, the number of traits that can be optimised is apparently limited to ~ 4Ne by the 'drift load', and this is hard to reconcile with the apparent complexity of ...
