Religion--an evolutionary adaptation.
When Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859 and The Descent of Man in 1871, he was concerned that evolution by natural selection would be seen—as it was then and still is—as standing opposed to religion. However, the proposition to be defended here is that he was mistaken about this point and that religion itself can be seen as an evolutionary adaptation that has arisen to meet ...
متن کاملInferring Gene Regulatory Network Using An Evolutionary Multi-Objective Method
Inference of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) based on experimental data is a challenging task in bioinformatics. In this paper, we present a biobjective minimization model (BoMM) for inference of GRNs, where one objective is the fitting error of derivatives, and the other is the number of connections in the network. To solve the BoMM efficiently, we propose a multi-objective evolutionary algori...
متن کاملEGIA - Evolutionary Optimisation of Gene Regulatory Networks, an Integrative Approach
Quantitative modelling of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is still limited by data issues such as noise and the restricted length of available time series, creating an under-determination problem. However, large amounts of other types of biological data and knowledge are available, such as knockout experiments, annotations and so on, and it has been postulated that integration of these can impr...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary and Phylogenetic Study of the BMP15 Gene
DNA sequence data contains a wealth of biologically useful information. Recent innovations in DNA sequencing technology have greatly increased our capacity to determine massive amounts of nucleotide sequences. These sequences can be used to specify the characteristics of different regions, interpret the evolutionary relationships between categorized groups, likelihood of performing multiple com...
متن کاملIs music an evolutionary adaptation?
In contemplating the function and origin of music, a number of scholars have considered whether music might be an evolutionary adaptation. This article reviews the basic arguments related to evolutionary claims for music. Although evolutionary theories about music remain wholly speculative, musical behaviors satisfy a number of basic conditions, which suggests that there is indeed merit in purs...
