Essays on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the limitations of traditional gene-centered evolutionary theories, this work advocates for a broader understanding of evolution that incorporates cognitive processes. By drawing on the insights of Maturana and Varela, it proposes a series of probability models rooted in information and control theories. These models aim to provide statistical tools for analyzing various evolutionary phenomena across biological, social, and cultural contexts. The essays present a cohesive argument for expanding evolutionary theory beyond its 1950s foundations.
