Pluralism in evolutionary theory.
The review by Waxman and Gavrilets illustrates the collision of different mindsets in evolutionary theory. These differences originate from the awe-inspiring complexity of the evolutionary process itself: evolutionary understanding critically depends on processes at many biological levels. Starting out with base pairs and their sequences, scholars of evolution have to consider – in the order of...

متن کاملCase study and system dynamics research: Complementarities, pluralism and evolutionary theory development
This paper explores the complementary use of system dynamics and case study research methodology for process theory development. The rationale for this is provided on the grounds of the limitations of human cognition, particularly in understanding the evolution of complex non linear systems and processes in time. This poses difficulties when attempting to arrive at causal mechanisms for phenome...
