Newton and Darwin: Can this marriage be saved?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (1):91-92 (2000)
| Abstract | The insights described by Nevin & Grace may be summarized without reference to the Newtonian concepts they suggest. The metaphor to Newtonian mechanics seems dubious in three ways: (1) extensions seem to lead to paradoxes; (2) many well-known phenomena are ignored; (3) the Newtonian concepts seem difficult to reconcile with the larger framework of evolutionary theory. | |||||||||
