Evolution and Learning: The Baldwin Effect Reconsidered
Based on a conference held in Nov. 1999 at Bennington College."A Bradford book."The role of genetic inheritance dominates current evolutionary theory. At the end of the nineteenth century, however, several evolutionary theorists independently speculated that learned behaviors could also affect the direction and rate of evolutionary change. This notion was called the Baldwin effect, after the ps…

Evolutionary Dynamics and Extensive Form Games
An analysis of standard evolutionary dynamics adapted to extensive form games.Evolutionary game theory attempts to predict individual behavior (whether of humans or other species) when interactions between individuals are modeled as a noncooperative game. Most dynamic analyses of evolutionary games are based on their normal forms, despite the fact that many interesting games are specified more …

From Embryology to Evo-Devo: A History of Developmental Evolution
Historians, philosophers, sociologists, and biologists explore the history of the idea that embryological development and evolution are linked.Although we now know that ontogeny (individual development) does not actually recapitulate phylogeny (evolutionary transformation), contrary to Ernst Haeckel's famous dictum, the relationship between embryological development and evolution remains the su…

Economists have largely discarded the idea that agents act rationally and the market follows suit. It seems that no matter how sma…
