Evolvability
Ciao a tutti, vi segnalo l'ultimo articolo di Massimo Pigliucci intitolato "Is evolvability evolvable?"
Nature reviews of genetics volume 9,january 2008, 75-82.
Abstract | In recent years, biologists have increasingly been asking whether the
ability to evolve — the evolvability — of biological systems, itself evolves, and
whether this phenomenon is the result of natural selection or a by-product of
other evolutionary processes. The concept of evolvability, and the increasing
theoretical and empirical literature that refers to it, may constitute one of
several pillars on which an extended evolutionary synthesis will take shape
during the next few years, although much work remains to be done on how
evolvability comes about.
Buona lettura,
Mauro
