“Evolutionary game theory is a way of thinking about evolution at the phenotypic level when the fitnesses of particular phenotypes depend on their frequencies in the population.” ThinkingWayGamesLevelsParticularTheoryDependsEvolutionPopulationFrequencyWay Of Thinking Book:Evolution and the Theory of Games Source: Evolution and the Theory of Games
“It is naïve to suppose that the acceptance of evolution theory depends upon the evidence of a number of so-called "proofs"; it depends rather upon the fact that the evolutionary theory permeates and supports every branch of biological science, much as the notion of the roundness of the earth underlies all geodesy and all cosmological theories on which the shape of the earth has a bearing. Thus antievolutionism is of the same stature as flat-earthism.” FactsEarthNumbersSupportAtheismAcceptanceTheoryDependsEvolutionShapesEvidenceNotionProofBranchesFlatsStatureBiological Science Author:Peter Medawar
“The social dynamics of human history, even more than that of biological evolution, illustrate the fundamental principle of ecological evolution - that everything depends on everything else. The nine elements that we have described in societal evolution of the three families of phenotypes - the phyla of things, organizations and people, the genetic bases in knowledge operating through energy and materials to produce phenotypes, and the three bonding relations of threat, integration and exchange - all interact on each other.” PeopleHumansThreeEnergySocialPrinciplesProduceMaterialsDependsEvolutionElementsOrganizationBasesRelationFundamentalsThreatNineIntegrationHuman HistoryEcologicalDynamicsBondingFundamental PrinciplesBiological Evolution Author:Kenneth E.

“We no longer see the evolution of the nervous system, but that of a certain individual. The role of the memory is very important but... not as important as we believe. Most of the important things that we do don't depend on memory. To hear, to see, to touch, to feel happiness and pain; these are functions which are independent of memory; it is an a priori thing. Thus, for me, what memory does is to modify that a priori thing, and this it does in a very profound way.” WayFeelsBelieveDoeImportantPainCertainIndividualMemoriesRolesDependsEvolutionFunctionIndependentImportant ThingsProfoundNervousNervous System Author:Rodolfo Llinas
“The simplest scheme of evolution is one that depends on two processes; a generator and a test. The task of the generator is to produce variety, new forms that have not existed previously, whereas the task of the test is to cull out the newly generated forms so that only those that are well fitted to the environment will survive.” WellsTwoFormProcessEnvironmentProduceDependsEvolutionTasksTestsVarietySchemesSimplestGenerator Author:Herbert Simon
