Lineages as evolving processes

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Lewis Bremner .

In this talk I shall consider some implications of a process philosophy for our theory of evolution. Starting with the entities in which evolution most commonly occurs, lineages, I explain what these are and why they should be seen as long-lasting processes. I then use this insight as a perspective to look at various factors in evolution, touching on the current debate between defenders of the now traditional modern synthesis and the extended evolutionary synthesis. I shall conclude with reflections on some unique features of the human lineage.
