Self-organization in evolution: a mathematical perspective.

Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences - 15 Jun 2003

Stewart Ian

Abstract excerpt

The neo-Darwinian view of evolution centres upon the role of the gene. Here there seems to be little scope for self-organization. This conclusion is reinforced by traditional models of polymorphism in terms of allele frequencies in a mean-field gene-pool. However, models based on phenotypes, and including nonlinear and collective effects, suggest that evolution can indeed be viewed as a process whereby the...
