Developmental-behavioral initiation of evolutionary change.

Psychological review - 1 Apr 2002

Gottlieb Gilbert

Abstract excerpt

The traditional approach to evolutionary psychology relies entirely on natural selection as the cause of the evolution of adaptations. Exclusive reliance on natural selection overlooks the fact that changes in development are a necessary prerequisite for evolutionary change. These developmental changes provide the material for natural selection to work on. In the neo-Darwinian scenario, the mechanisms of...
