“…Development drives evolution insofar as it is shaped by environmental factors, whether these be abiotic or biotic, agential, social, or cultural (for more details, also see Chiu, 2022). Novel phenotypes frequently are environmentally induced (West-Eberhard, 2003, not least as a result of organisms' own active modification of the environment (Piaget, 1978;Lewontin, 2000;Odling-Smee et al, 2003;Laland et al, 2016;Chiu, 2019;Aaby & Desmond, 2021).…”

This article discusses the metaphysics of development and evolution. Which most fundamental assumptions about the structure of reality underlie our thinking about development and evolution? Against the backdrop of major lines of thought in the history of western metaphysics, I argue that the characteristic disregard of development in neo-Darwinist evolutionary theory is due to an underlying view of reality in terms of things (thing ontology), and that putting development back into evolution, as intended by the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, requires understanding reality in terms of processes (process ontology). I show how a metaphysical paradigm shift from thing ontology to process ontology, and a philosophy of biology informed accordingly by process ontology (process biology), can advance our understanding of development and evolution.

“…1, has as its primary goal to integrate advances made in micro‐, meso‐ and macroevolutionary schools with insights from ecology. It is also within this paradigm that we can situate most adherents of an Extended Evolutionary Synthesis or EES (Chiu, 2022; Laland et al., 2015; Pigliucci & Müller, 2010). Associated originally with the reappraisal of a mesoevolutionary outlook on evolution, founders of the EES have engaged primarily in shaping the field of evolutionary developmental theory.…”

Situating physiology within evolutionary theory

Traditionally defined as the science of the living, or as the field that beyond anatomical structure and bodily form studies functional organization and behaviour, physiology has long been excluded from evolutionary research. The main reason for this exclusion is that physiology has a presential and futuristic outlook on life, while evolutionary theory is traditionally defined as the study of natural history. In this paper, I re‐evaluate these classic science divisions and situate physiology within the history of the evolutionary sciences, as well as within debates on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and the need for a Third Way of Evolution. I then briefly point out how evolutionary physiology in particular contributes to research on function, causation, teleonomy, agency and cognition. image
