SUMMARY:Lineages as evolving processes - John Dupré (University of Exeter
 )

CONTACT:Lewis Bremner
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I shall consider some implications of a process p
 hilosophy 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 th
 e current debate between defenders of the now traditional modern synthesis
  and the extended evolutionary synthesis. I shall conclude with reflection
 s on some unique features of the human lineage.
