Loosely Used Science Terms
Shape Vague Comprehensions Remarks re the first three paragraphs of "Speed Limit To The Pace Of Evolution, Biologists Say" http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/... 1) "Pace of evolution" *What is evolution? Define your work terms. Evolution is the process of enhancing of energy constraint. 2) "Darwinian evolution and/or non-Darwinian evolution". *For the present science establishment Darwinian evolution implies what it implied for Darwin i.e. survival of randomly mutated multicelled organisms. For the present science establishment and for Motoo Kimura himself his neutral non-Darwinian evolution is a vague concept. For me, the 22nd century concept of evolution is Again And Again: It's Culture That Drives Evolution, Not Occasional Random Genetic Accidents: http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/... 3) "A major conclusion...for some organisms possibly including humans: continued evolution will not translate into ever-increasing fitness." *Fitness is the capacity of an organism to survive. Don't lump humans with other organisms re the nature of capacity to survive. Ubiquitous biological survival capacity has been mostly by physiological adaptation to changing circumstances, whereas humans survive by modifying their environments-circumstances, by what anthropologists term culture. 4) "mutations at a constant rate -- a pattern long considered the hallmark of "neutral" or non-Darwinian evolution". *Neutral or non-Darwinian evolution...hallmark pattern? These mutations are definitely normal accidental injuries sustained by inherited genes or genomes. Normal wear and tear of genes and genomes. 5) "Moreover, a population may accrue mutations at a constant rate -- a pattern long considered the hallmark of "neutral" or non-Darwinian evolution -- even when the mutations experience Darwinian selection". *Even? What does this even imply here? 6) "Much is known about the qualitative aspects of evolutionary theory -- that organisms mutate and these mutations are selected by the environment..." *No no no. Definitely not organisms mutate and these mutations are selected by the environment. Genes expressions are modified per cultural feedback of the organism. 7) "Information on evolution between consecutive generations is hard to come by, and the lack of understanding has real-world implications" *What d'you know! Finally a correct statement! A pity, though, that the "Biologists" do not realize that it is hard to come by because they refuse to open their eyes and correct their concept of the origin, nature and mechanism of evolution. I simply do not have time now to read beyond the first three paragraphs of "Speed Limit To The Pace Of Evolution, Biologists Say"...
