Regulatory evolution and theoretical arguments in evolutionary biology
Science and Education (forthcoming)
| Abstract | The cis-regulatory hypothesis is one of the most important claims of evolutionary developmental biology. In this paper I examine the theoretical argument for cis-regulatory evolution and its role within evolutionary theorizing. I show that, although the argument has some weaknesses, it acts as a useful example for the importance of current scientific debates for science education. | |||||||||
