Evolution Is Teleological

de Dirk Bontes ...

In the modern model of evolution theory the evolution of a protein or of an organ behaves like the accidental changes in a drunk man's walk. Mutations in the hereditary DNA occur due to accidental processes. The natural selection of those mutations also is the result of accidental processes. The rapidity with which these processes occur therefore is indeterminate for each mutation.The evolution ... Leer más

Evolution of self-replicating macromolecules through natural selection is a dynamically ordered process. Two concepts are introduced to describe the physical regularity of macromolecular evolution: sequence space and quasi-species. Natural selection means localization of a mutant distribution in sequence space. This localized distribution, called the quasi-species, is centered around a master ... Leer más
