The relationship between development and evolution through heritable variation.

Novartis Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 2007

Cheverud James M

Abstract excerpt

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection states that evolution occurs through the natural selection of heritable variation. Development plays the key physiological role connecting the heritable genotypes, passed from one generation to the next, to the phenotypes that are made available for selection. While at times the developmental variations underlying a selected trait may be neutral with respect to...
