Neo-Lamarckian medicine.
Darwinian medicine is the treatment of disease based on evolution. The underlying assumption of Darwinian medicine is that traits are coded by genes, which are often assumed to be sequences of DNA nucleotides. The quantitative genetic ramification of this perspective is that traits, including disease susceptibility, are either caused by genes or by the environment, with genotype-by-environment ...
متن کاملLamarckian and Darwinian Theories
What is it that makes natural evolution so successful at finding solutions to real-world problems? If this question can be understood and answered we will be in possession of a powerful new tool for overcoming many of the difficulties now being faced by the more mathematical approaches to communication problems. Evolution will not tolerate Lamarckian control. Indeed unfettered diversity is the ...
متن کاملBelief Revision by Lamarckian Evolution
We propose a multi-agent genetic algorithm to accomplish belief revision. The algorithm implements a new evolutionary strategy resulting from a combination of Darwinian and Lamarckian approaches. Besides encompassing the Darwinian operators of selection, mutation and crossover, it comprises a Lamarckian operator that mutates the genes in a chromosome that code for the believed assumptions. Thes...
متن کاملLogic Aided Lamarckian Evolution
We propose a multi-strategy genetic algorithm for performing belief revision. The algorithm implements a new evolutionary strategy which is a combination of the theories of Darwin and Lamarck. Therefore, the algorithm not only includes the Darwinian operators of selection, mutation and crossover but also a Lamarckian operator that changes the individuals so that they perform better in solving t...
متن کاملBacteria are not Lamarckian
Instructive influence of environment on heredity has been a debated topic for centuries. Darwin's identification of natural selection coupled to chance variation as the driving force for evolution, against a formal interpretation proposed by Lamarck, convinced most scientists that environment does not specifically instruct evolution in an oriented direction. This is true for multicellular organ...
