| Male homosexuality explained through Darwinian evolution | | 2008-06-19 09:18:32 | | Reporting in this week's PLoS ONE, an Italian research team, consisting of Andrea Camperio Ciani and Giovanni Zanzotto at the University of Padova and Paolo Cermelli at the University of Torino, found that the evolutionary origin and maintenance of male homosexuality in human populations could be explained by a model based around the idea of sexually antagonistic selection, in which genetic factors spread in the population by giving a reproductive advantage to one sex while disadvantaging the other.

| Expanding evolution: A broader view of inheritance puts pressure on the neo-darwinian synthesis | | 2006-09-26 13:45:45 | | Evolution in Four Dimensions: Genetic, Epigenetic, Behavioral, and Symbolic Variation in the History of Life by Eva Jablonka & Marion J. Lamb Bradford Books: 2005. 462 pp (Amazon UK | US).Book Review by Massimo Pigliucci (Nature Magazine)Extracts:There have been rumblings for some time to the effect that the neo-darwinian synthesis of the early twentieth century is incomplete and due for a major revision. In the past decade, several authors have written books to articulate this feeling and to begin the move towards a second synthesis. In the past decade, several authors have written books to articulate this feeling......I framed the debate in terms of the integration of development, environment and genetics by articulating the concept of "developmental reaction norms"......Jablonka and Lamb provide a framework that includes not one but four sources of inheritance in living organisms: there is the standard genetic one, based on nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA; there are epigenetic in | | By: Evolution Research - Main Blog | | |
