What is Free Evolution?

Free evolution is the notion that the natural processes of organisms can lead them to evolve over time. This includes the appearance and growth of new species.

This has been demonstrated by many examples of stickleback fish species that can be found in fresh or saltwater and walking stick insect species that prefer specific host plants. These mostly reversible traits permutations cannot explain fundamental changes to the basic body plan.

Scientists have been fascinated by the development of all the living organisms that inhabit our planet for centuries. Charles Darwin's natural selection is the most well-known explanation. This is because individuals who are better-adapted are able to reproduce faster and longer than those who are less well-adapted. Over time, a community of well-adapted individuals expands and eventually creates a new species.

Natural selection is a process that is cyclical and involves the interaction of three factors including reproduction, variation and inheritance. Variation is caused by mutations and sexual reproduction both of which enhance the genetic diversity within the species. Inheritance refers to the transmission of a person’s genetic traits, including both dominant and recessive genes to their offspring. Reproduction is the process of producing viable, fertile offspring, which includes both sexual and asexual methods.

Natural selection only occurs when all of these factors are in harmony. If, for instance, a dominant gene allele causes an organism reproduce and last longer than the recessive gene then the dominant allele will become more common in a population. However, if the gene confers an unfavorable survival advantage or reduces fertility, it will be eliminated from the population. The process is self reinforcing, which means that an organism that has an adaptive trait will survive and reproduce much more than those with a maladaptive trait. The more offspring an organism produces, the greater its fitness which is measured by its ability to reproduce itself and survive. People with desirable traits, like a long neck in the giraffe, or bright white patterns on male peacocks, are more likely than others to survive and reproduce which eventually leads to them becoming the majority.

Natural selection is a factor in populations and not on individuals. This is a crucial distinction from the Lamarckian theory of evolution which holds that animals acquire traits through the use or absence of use. For example, if a giraffe's neck gets longer through stretching to reach prey and its offspring will inherit a longer neck. The differences in neck length between generations will persist until the neck of the giraffe becomes too long that it can no longer breed with other giraffes.

Evolution through Genetic Drift

In genetic drift, alleles of a gene could attain different frequencies within a population by chance events. At some point, one will attain fixation (become so widespread that it is unable to be removed by natural selection), while other alleles will fall to lower frequency. In extreme cases this, it leads to one allele dominance. The other alleles are eliminated, and heterozygosity is reduced to zero. In a small population, this could lead to the total elimination of the recessive allele. Such a scenario would be known as a bottleneck effect and it is typical of the kind of evolutionary process that takes place when a large amount of people migrate to form a new group.

A phenotypic bottleneck can also occur when the survivors of a catastrophe like an outbreak or a mass hunting event are confined to a small area. The survivors will share an dominant allele, and will share the same phenotype. This situation might be caused by conflict, earthquake or even a disease. Whatever the reason the genetically distinct population that remains is prone to genetic drift.

Walsh, Lewens, 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 (Https://evolutionkr.kr) and Ariew use Lewens, Walsh, and Ariew use a "purely outcome-oriented" definition of drift as any departure from the expected values of variations in fitness. They give the famous example of twins who are genetically identical and have exactly the same phenotype. However, one is struck by lightning and dies, whereas the other is able to reproduce.

This kind of drift can be vital to the evolution of the species. This isn't the only method for evolution. The main alternative is to use a process known as natural selection, where the phenotypic diversity of the population is maintained through mutation and migration.

Stephens claims that there is a significant difference between treating the phenomenon of drift as an actual cause or force, and treating other causes like selection mutation and migration as causes and forces. Stephens claims that a causal mechanism account of drift permits us to differentiate it from the other forces, and this distinction is vital. He further argues that drift has both a direction, i.e., it tends towards eliminating heterozygosity. It also has a size that is determined by population size.

Evolution by Lamarckism

When students in high school study biology they are often introduced to the work of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744 - 1829). His theory of evolution is generally called "Lamarckism" and it states that simple organisms develop into more complex organisms via the inheritance of traits that result from the organism's natural actions usage, use and disuse. Lamarckism is illustrated through an giraffe's neck stretching to reach higher leaves in the trees. This would cause giraffes to give their longer necks to their offspring, who would then get taller.

Lamarck Lamarck, a French Zoologist from France, presented an idea that was revolutionary in his opening lecture at the Museum of Natural History of Paris. He challenged the previous thinking on organic transformation. According to him living things had evolved from inanimate matter via an escalating series of steps. Lamarck was not the only one to suggest that this might be the case, but his reputation is widely regarded as being the one who gave the subject its first general and comprehensive treatment.

The predominant story is that Charles Darwin's theory on evolution by natural selection and Lamarckism were competing in the 19th century. Darwinism eventually won and led to the creation of what biologists today call the Modern Synthesis. The Modern Synthesis theory denies that traits acquired through evolution can be acquired through inheritance and instead suggests that organisms evolve through the selective action of environmental factors, including natural selection.

While Lamarck endorsed the idea of inheritance by acquired characters, and his contemporaries also offered a few words about this idea however, it was not a major feature in any of their theories about evolution. This is partly due to the fact that it was never tested scientifically.

It has been more than 200 year since Lamarck's birth, and in the age genomics, there is a growing evidence base that supports the heritability of acquired traits. This is also referred to as "neo Lamarckism", or more generally epigenetic inheritance. This is a version that is just as valid as the popular neodarwinian model.

Evolution by the process of adaptation

One of the most popular misconceptions about evolution is that it is driven by a sort of struggle to survive. In fact, this view is a misrepresentation of natural selection and ignores the other forces that determine the rate of evolution. The fight for survival can be more accurately described as a struggle to survive in a specific environment, which could involve not only other organisms, but also the physical environment itself.

To understand how evolution works it is important to consider what adaptation is. Adaptation is any feature that allows a living organism to survive in its environment and reproduce. It could be a physiological structure, such as feathers or fur or a behavioral characteristic, such as moving into the shade in hot weather or stepping out at night to avoid cold.

The ability of a living thing to extract energy from its surroundings and interact with other organisms as well as their physical environment, is crucial to its survival. The organism needs to have the right genes to produce offspring, and it must be able to access sufficient food and other resources. Moreover, the organism must be capable of reproducing itself at a high rate within its niche.

These factors, together with gene flow and mutations, can lead to an alteration in the ratio of different alleles within a population’s gene pool. This shift in the frequency of alleles could lead to the development of novel traits and eventually new species as time passes.

A lot of the traits we admire in animals and plants are adaptations, for example, lung or gills for removing oxygen from the air, feathers or fur to provide insulation long legs to run away from predators, and camouflage to hide. However, a complete understanding of adaptation requires a keen eye to the distinction between physiological and behavioral traits.

Physiological adaptations, like thick fur or gills are physical traits, while behavioral adaptations, such as the tendency to search for companions or to move to the shade during hot weather, are not. It is important to note that the absence of planning doesn't result in an adaptation. A failure to consider the consequences of a decision, even if it appears to be rational, could cause it to be unadaptive.
