The Logic Of Evolution Evolution is about a pattern
(in particular, a string of DNA, but it could also be some other pattern) and
it involves the following steps: Reproduction. Copies are
made of the pattern. Variation. Random errors
appear in the copies and yield variants. Selection. The environment
selects which variants survive. These simple steps cause
continuous mutations of the pattern. Each generation copes better with the
environment. In addition, other factors
may accelerate evolution: sex accelerates evolution; learning accelerates
evolution. Back to the beginning of the chapter "The Evolution of Life: Of Designers and Design" | Back to the index of all chapters |
