Neuware - The Rise of Chance in Evolutionary Theory: A Pompous Parade of Arithmetic explores a pivotal conceptual moment in the history of evolutionary theory: the development of its extensive reliance on a wide array of concepts of chance. It tells the history of a methodological and conceptual development that reshaped our approach to natural selection over a century, ranging from Darwin's earliest not Elektronisches Buch in the 1830s to the early years of the Modern Synthesis in the 1930s. Far from being a 'pompous parade of arithmetic, as one early critic argued, evolution transformed during this period to make these conceptual and technical tools indispensable. This book charts the role of chance in evolutionary theory from its beginnings to the earliest days of modern evolutionary theory, making it an ideal resource for evolutionary biologists, historians, philosophers, and researchers in science studies or biological statistics.

Sinopsis

The Rise of Chance in Evolutionary Theory: A Pompous Parade of Arithmetic examines the statistical tools and concepts of chance which underlie their applications in natural selection and game theory. The book analyzes the newly recognized relationship between our theoretical apparatus for understanding biological populations and the biological world itself. Over the history of evolutionary biology, including the period from Darwin's early notebooks in 1830 and the publication of R. A. Fisher's Genetical Theory of Natural Selection in 1930, the basis of evolutionary theory has transformed to require considerations of mathematics, statistics and chance.

This book charts the development of evolutionary theory from its beginnings to today's advanced knowledge of the primary role of chance in biological processes, making it an ideal resource for evolutionary biologists, researchers and academics in evolution and biological statistics.

Analyzes research and assesses how and why these "foundational� conclusions were reached by original evolutionary biologists, including Darwin, Galton, Pearson, and more
Describes the journey of the role of chance in evolutionary theory and its contemporary understanding
Includes assessments of the nature vs. nurture theory and Provine's history of population genetics
