Stephen Baxter
Evolution

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comFollowing up his cosmic Manifold series, Stephen Baxter peers back on a more prosaic history in the worthy yet uneven Evolution . The book is nothing less than a novelization of human evolution, a mega-Michener treatment of 65 millionyears starring a host of smart, furry primates representing Homo sapiens `s ancestry. Each stage of our ancestry is represented by a character of progressively increasing intelligence, empathy, and brain size, who must survive predation and other perils long enough to keep the natural-selection ball rolling. While Baxter carefully follows some widely accepted theories of evolution--punctuated equilibrium, for instance--he also strays from the known in postulating air whales and sentient, tool-wielding dinosaurs. And why not? There`s nothing in the fossil record to contradict his musings about those things, or about the first instances of mammalian altruism and deception, which he also lets us observe. From little… [detailed...]

Evolution`s Edge: The Coming Collapse and Transformation of Our World

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It is now five minutes to midnight on the doomsday clock, reflecting the fact that we are closer to assuring the obliteration of our species than we have been at any time since the early eighties. We are rapidly approaching a tipping point, where we will either transform our violent, exploitative global system into a peaceful, cooperative one, or enter a catastrophic decline.Evolution`s Edge shows that limitless economic expansion is impossible on a finite planet. Our growth-based global system will collapse as critical resources become scarce and major ecosystems fail. However, new ideas, values, and technologies can help us avoid disaster and create a better world.Using evolutionary systems theory, Evolution`s Edge explains how societies evolve and why rapid, nonlinear change is not only possible but inevitable. It describes:Collapse-how cascading crises will soon provoke system failureTransformation-how emerging technologies, ideas, values, and social organizations are supporting… [detailed...]

Evolutionary Biology from Concept to Application

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Every biological system is the outcome of its evolution, therefore, the deciphering of its evolutionary history is of tremendous importance to understand the biology of a system. Since 1997 scientists of different disciplines have held an annual `Evolutionary Biology Meeting` at Marseille (France) in order to discuss their research developments, exchange ideas and start collaborations. Consisting of the most representative talks of the 11th meeting, this book provides an up-to-date overview of evolutionary concepts and how these concepts can be applied to a better understanding of various biological aspects. It is divided into the following four parts: Modelization of Evolution - Concepts in Evolutionary Biology - Knowledge - Applied Evolutionary Biology. This book is an invaluable source of information not only for evolutionary biologists, but also for biologists in general. [detailed...]

Evolutionary Computation

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Evolutionary algorithms (EA) have received considerable attention regarding their potential for solving real-world problems involving various types of tasks, such as optimization of objectives, satisfaction of constraints or modeling data. Despite of thediversity of tasks they can handle, evolutionary algorithms form one family of problem solving techniques, based on the principle of `survival of the fittest`, mimicing some natural phenomena of genetic and phenotypic inheritance and Darwinian strife forsurvival. They also constitute an interesting category of modern heuristic search. They form a class of adaptive algorithms with operations based on probabilistic procedures for creating and maintaining individuals in a population of candidate solutions,and through a process of variation and a selection, finding near-optimum solution. Evolutionary techniques have been successfully applied to a variety of difficult problems. These include numerical and combinatorial optimization,… [detailed...]

Evolutionary Dynamics and Extensive Form Games (Economics Learning &, Social Evolution)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Evolutionary game theory attempts to predict individual behavior (whether of humans or other species) when interactions between individuals are modeled as a noncooperative game. Most dynamic analyses of evolutionary games are based on their normal forms,despite the fact that many interesting games are specified more naturally through their extensive forms. Because every extensive form game has a normal form representation, some theorists hold that the best way to analyze an extensive form game is simplyto ignore the extensive form structure and study the game in its normal form representation. This book rejects that suggestion, arguing that a game`s normal form representation often omits essential information from the perspective of dynamic evolutionary game theory. The book offers a synthesis of current knowledge about extensive form games from an evolutionary perspective, emphasizing connections between the extensive form representation and dynamic models that… [detailed...]

Evolutionary Economics and Human Nature

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFor much of the twentieth century, mainstream economists have treated human agents in their models as if they were rational beings of unbounded computational capacity - the notorious ?Homo Economicus? of much economic theory. However, the patent inadequacies of this understanding of human nature have become increasingly apparent, and economists have begun looking for more realistic models, incorporating the insights of evolutionary theory. The authors address the question of human nature in economics, examining not only some of the recent writing on this subject in evolutionary psychology and related disciplines, but also the ideas of important thinkers in the Western intellectual tradition. Beginning with the ancient Greeks and progressing to the modern day, the contributors explore the works of such thinkers as Augustine, Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, Alfred Marshall and Kenneth Boulding. Many of these works are placed in a Darwinian, evolutionary… [detailed...]

Description: Evolutionary Economics: Program and Scope offers a fresh look at the paradigmatic foundations and basic theoretical propositions of economics. Twelve authors -- each of them with his own distinct contribution to economics -- make a step forward by reinterpreting major areas of micro and macroeconomics in line with modern evolutionary thinking. This volume offers a unified approach to economics that allows recent developments in various strands of Evolutionary Economics to be integrated and major positions of Neoclassical Economics to be reconsidered. The chapters on `Evolutionary Macro Economics` explore macro areas such as the division of labor and knowledge, technology and institutions, population thinking, meso economics, techno-economic trajectories and industrial sectors. By telescoping structure into time, they highlight the processes of structural change and co-evolution between technologies and institutions, and provide a causal-explanatory core for a modern -- evolutionary --… [detailed...]
