Artificial Chemistries
The field of Artificial life (ALife) is now firmly established in the scientific world, but it has yet to achieve one of its original goals: an understanding of the emergence of life on Earth. The new field of artificial chemistries draws from chemistry, biology, computer science, mathematics, and other disciplines to work toward that goal. For if, as it has been argued, life emerged from pirmi…

Environment, Development, and Evolution: Toward a Synthesis
Leading researchers in evolutionary developmental biology seek linkages between, and a synthesis of, development, physiology, endocrinology, ecology, and evolution.Evolutionary developmental biology, also known as evo-devo or EDB, seeks to find links between development and evolution by opening the "black box" of development's role in evolution and in the evolution of developmental mechanisms. …

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…

Modularity :understanding the development and evolution of natural complex sy…
Experts from diverse fields, including artificial life, cognitive science, economics, developmental and evolutionary biology, and the arts, discuss modularity.Modularity--the attempt to understand systems as integrations of partially independent and interacting units--is today a dominant theme in the life sciences, cognitive science, and computer science. The concept goes back at least implicit…

H.G. Bronn, Ernst Haeckel, and the origins of German Darwinism : A Study in T…
A revisionist view of the history of German Darwinism examines the translation of Darwin's work and its early reception in Germany. Gliboff tells the story of how Heinrich Georg Bronn translated the book into German, and traces Bronn's influence on German Darwinism through the career of Ernst Haeckel.
