Natural or internal selection? The case of canalization in complex evolutionary systems.

Artificial life - 1 Jan 2008

Riegler Alexander

Abstract excerpt

Using biological examples and theoretical arguments, the case is presented for extending the notion of natural selection to include internal selection in order to account for the evolution of complex systems. It is suggested that we take into consideration internal factors that arise from the hie...
