Inferring directions of evolution from patterns of variation: the legacy of Sergei Meyen.

Bio Systems - 1 Sept 2014

Sharov Alexei A, Igamberdiev Abir U

Abstract excerpt

In the era of the extended evolutionary synthesis, which no longer considers natural selection as the only leading factor of evolution, it is meaningful to revisit the legacy of biologists who discussed the role of alternative factors. Here we analyze the evolutionary views of Sergei Meyen (1935-1987), a paleobotanist who argued that the theory of evolution should incorporate a "nomothetical" approach which...
