A continuous multi-locus model describing the evolution of a large population of a diploid organism is studied. It is assumed that only the forces of natural selection and recombination are operating. The use of a non-Euclidean metric greatly clarifies the dynamical properties o…
This book presents a series of perspectives showing the current knowledge about human evolution. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Darwin's book, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, in which he explicitly addresses the natural origin of the human spec…
This book argues that the Romantic movement influenced Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection. Given that Darwin has traditionally been placed within Victorian naturalism, these Romantic connections have often been overlooked. The volume traces specific examples of D…

"Even after 150 years, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is irresistibly compelling. But how can this idea - in which competition prevails - be consistent with all that we know about the thoroughly cooperative nature of life at the genetic and cellular level? Thi…
Recent arguments concerning the nature of causation in evolutionary theory, now often known as the debate between the 'causalist' and 'statisticalist' positions, have involved answers to a variety of independent questions - definitions of key evolutionary concepts like natural s…
