Evolution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about evolution in the biological sense. For other possible meanings, see Evolution (disambiguation) Evolution is any process of growth or development that entails change. The word stems from the Latin evolutio meaning "unfolding" and before the late 19th century was confined to referring to goal-directed, pre-programmed processes such as embryological development. A pre-programmed task, as in a military maneuver, using this definition, may be termed an "evolution." One can also speak of stellar evolution chemical evolution cultural evolution spiritual evolution or the evolution of an idea . Other kinds of evolution include evolutionary algorithms (which include genetic algorithms ) which attempt to mimic processes similar to biological evolution in a computer program , most frequently as an optimization technique and as an experimental framework for the computational modelling of evolution. Table of contents 1 Modern usage 2 Scientific theory 2.1 Ancestry of organisms 2.2 The emergence of novel traits ... edit Modern usage In the 19th century the word "evolution" was identified with improvement. It was clear to European thinkers at that time in the wake of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution that human societies evolved; many people have claimed the same about the evolution of biological species. In the 20th century, most social scientists came to reject the strict identification of social and cultural change with improvement (see also

Much work focuses on the large-scale composition, methylation, expression, structure and function of repetitive DNA motifs that make up the majority of most animal and plant genomes. A particular area of interest is the behaviour and evolution of retroelements and pararetroviruses. We use a combination of genetic, molecular and cytological methods - molecular cytogenetics - including in situ hybridization (hybridisation), fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, DNA microarray and oligonucleotide hybridization, as well as molecular biology. Repetitive DNA in the genome is important for evolutionary, genetic, taxonomic and applied studies, providing polymorphic markers. Repetitive sequences include microsatellites or simple sequence repeats, retrotransposons and retroelements, genes, and tandemly repeated elements. Our work is important in showing the evolution of th

43. Digital Culture - 98.12.09 by Harvey Blume Can robotics shed light on the human mind? On evolution? Daniel Dennett whose work unites neuroscience, computer science, and evolutionary biology has some provocative answers. Is he on to something, or just chasing the zeitgeist? http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/digicult/dc981209.htm

Previously in Digital Culture: "Coming of Age in Cyberspace," by David S. Bennahum (October 28, 1998) In the bedrooms, the arcades, and the high school computer rooms of the 1980s, kids of the Atari generation invented today's digital culture. An excerpt from David Bennahum's memoir, Extra Life. "Portable Musings," by Sven Birkerts (September 10, 1998) The book is the network, the network is knowledge, and soon you'll be able to curl up in bed with all of it. This calls for some serious rumination. "The Invisible World Order," by Andrew Piper (July 29, 1998) If digital technology is to serve humanity (and not the other way around), we'll have to come to terms with the database and all that it implies. "The Right Mix," by Ralph Lombreglia (June 4, 1998) Digital technology has made the private recording studio itself into a new kind of musical instrument. "A Function Specific to Joy," by Harvey Blume (April 29, 1998) Are we ready for computers that know how we feel? More on Technology and Digital Culture in Atlantic Unbound and The Atlantic Monthly.

At that workshop, co-chairs D. Futuyma (editorial) and T. Meagher (organizing) were elected to seek funding to support workshops to develop background material for a white paper document as well as an associated executive summary and to coordinate and oversee their writing and publication.

Welcome to the home page for Biology 203 - Evolution at Old Dominion University. Whether you're a student in my course or just an innocent by-surfer, I hope you'll find something of use and/or interest here. One quick note on the relative brevity of the page: perhaps because evolution is both so broad in scope and so fundamental to all branches of biology, relatively few indices of "purely"evolutionary topics seem to exist. Instead, you'll find information and resources about evolutionary practice and theory embedded within the resources devoted to fields ranging from population ecology (population genetics models and software) to systematics (computer programs for reconstructing phylogenies) to artificial life (interactive animations demonstrating the effect of natural selection). So as you're surfing, be sure to look everywhere that's where you'll find it!

PICT.ESSAYS ... CRS.MATERIALS 1. The Continuity of Man and Animals Today, I wish to talk about Darwin's biological considerations on morality. There are other people who treated the same or the related problems in the 19th century, e.g. Spencer or Huxley ; but it seems to me Darwin is by far the most important. When I began to study the Darwininan evolutionary theory some twenty years ago, I was very much impressed by Darwin's persistence with his thesis of the continuity of man and animals. In The Descent of Man , published in 1871 (2nd ed., 1874), this thesis is put forward as follows [Q1]: It has, I think, now been shewn that man and the higher animals, especially the Primates, have some few instincts in common. All have the same senses, intuitions, and sensations,similar passions, affections, and emotions, even the more complex ones, such as jealousy, suspicion, emulation, gratitude, and magnanimity; they practise deceit and are revengeful; they are sometimes susceptible to ridicule, and even have a sense of humour; they feel wonder and curiosity; they possess the same faculties of imitation, attention, deliberation, choice, memory, imagination, the association of ideas, and reason, though in very different degrees. The individuals of the same species graduate in intellect from absolute imbecility to high excellence. They are also liable to insanity, though far less often than in the case of man. (
