El segundo pilar: la biología evolucionaria desenvolvimiental y el surgimiento de una teoría complementaria a la teoría de la selección natural

Gustavo Caponi

Resumen


The second pillar: developmental evolutionary biology and the rise of a complementary theory to natural selection.

The Developmental Evolutionary Biology and the Theory of Natural Selection obey different ideals of natural order that allows us to consider them as two different and autonomous, but not contradictory, theories. The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium can be considered as a particular formulation of the Theory of Natural Selection’s ideal of natural order. The postulation of a virtual morphospace, regularly and homogeneously occupied, could define the Developmental Evolutionary Biology’s ideal of natural order. That is why, such as the Theory of Natural Selection provides the resources to explain the detours that happen in relation to this force zero state defined by the Principle of Hardy-Weinberg, the Developmental Evolutionary Biology tries to establish the factors that, independently of natural selection, explain a biased occupation of the morphospace.

 

Key words: Developmental evolutionary biology, theory of natural selection, ideals of natural order, morphospace, developmental drive.
