The structure of evolutionary theory

Pt. 1. The history of Darwinian logic and debate.

Pt. 2. Towards a revised and expanded evolutionary theory.

Defining and revising the structure of evolutionary theory

PART I: THE HISTORY OF DARWINIAN LOGIC AND DEBATE: The essence of Darwinism and the basis of modern orthodoxy: an exegesis of the Origin of Species

Seeds of hierarchy

Internalism and laws of form: pre-Darwinian alternatives to functionalism

The fruitful facets of Galton's polyhedron; channels and saltations in post-Darwinian formalism

Pattern and progress on the geological stage

The modern synthesis as a limited consensus

PART II: TOWARDS A REVISED AND EXPANDED EVOLUTIONARY THEORY: Species as individuals in the hierarchical theory of selection

Punctuated equilibrium and the validation of macroevolutionary theory

The integration of constraint and adaptation (structure and function) in ontogeny and phylogeny: historical constraints and the evolution of development

The integration of constraint and adaptation (structure and function) in ontogeny and phylogeny: structural constraints, spandrels, and the centrality of exaptation in macroevolution

Tiers of time and trials of extrapolationism, with an epilog on the interaction of general theory and contingent theory.
