The effect of development on the direction of evolution: toward a twenty-first century consensus.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Arthur Wallace

Abstract excerpt

One of the most important questions in evolutionary biology is: what orients the evolutionary process? That is, what causes evolution to proceed toward certain developmental trajectories, and hence phenotypes, rather than others? In particular, there has been prolonged controversy over whether th...
