Evolutionary Theory

|
Are there rules—or, at least, common patterns—to development and genetics, and if so, how and why did they evolve? A theme that runs through some of our answers to these questions is conflict: natural selection working at cross purposes. These conflicts can arise between the sexes, between parents and offspring, between the cells of a body, and between the genes within a genome. We study these conflicts from a theoretical perspective and explore their implications for the evolution of organisms and genetics.
