Amoxicillin from canadian pharmacy, "The Evolution of Eusociality" by Martin Nowak, Corina Tarnita, rx free Amoxicillin, Online buy Amoxicillin without a prescription, and E.O. Wilson re-frames an old evolutionary question and...

Evolutionary theorist Susan Blackmore argues in the New York Times (and elsewhere Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription, ) that a new form of evolution is emerging, based on the replication of digital information. This would be the third mode of evolution that we humans are aware of, where can i order...

Order Plavix online c.o.d, This April I (a) successfully defended my PhD thesis, and (b) won a Templeton Foundation fellowship to work with Martin Nowak at Harvard for two years, purchase Plavix online no...

Buy Zithromax Online Without Prescription, If you weren't wondering about this yesterday, you are - today.  You need to see things from the perspective of the gene: "These API's represent a new indirect economy where business is conducted through interconnected services.  Ramji: "I believe that we're...

I'm briefly coming up from the sea of thesis preparation (two weeks until defense!) to share this truly remarkable quote I just read: Buy Lotrisone Online Without Prescription, Consider the following: in the evolutionary course there have been a few great junctures, times of major evolutionary advance....

Buy Misoprostol Online Without Prescription, A while ago, I wrote on the hypothesis that humans have essentially stopped evolving genetically, because of our cultural emphasis on keeping all humans alive, no matter how disadvantaged. The New York Times reports today on the opposite idea: that human culture...

In my post about The Process Buy Cymbalta Online Without Prescription, it turns out that I stepped on a pedagogical minefield when using describing the Anthropic Principle (AP). Where can i buy Cymbalta online,  Two preeminent physicists had a very public argument a while ago in which one called the AP...

As careful readers of this blog will note, I've been obsessed with Alex Ryan's visualization of the way new levels of organization come into being (e.g. atoms --> molecules --> cells, etc).  In an attempt to complement and extend his model, here's a visualization of how I think of the various concepts...

As a mathematical evolutionary theorist, I use abstract methods to investigate how the structure of an evolutionary process determines whether social behaviors like cooperation can be successful. So I was excited to learn over the holidays (from David Carballo, archaeologist and family friend of my partner)...

James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA's double-helix structure recently called for a back to basics approach in dealing with cancer.  In previous post threads I've discussed cancer's complexity and in particular the confounding and scary implications of somatic evolution, which underscores some of the reasons...

As readers of my blog posts know, I talk a lot about evolutionary systems, the formal structure of cooperation, the role of both in emergence of new levels of complexity, and I sometimes use cellular automata to make points about all these things and the reification of useful models (here's a summary of how...

This is a followup to Ben's post on Human Cultural Transformation Triggered by Dense Populations.  Too many links for this to be accepted into the comments directly... In thinking about these questions, it helps me to remind myself of the difference between evolution and emergence. Evolution happens...

Biologically,modern humans first appeared 160,000 to 200,000 years ago. But the transition to complex human societies, with art, music, advanced tools, occurred a good deal more recently, and moreover, occured at different times in different parts of the world. An article in June's Science magazine (see a...

One of the hidden themes of The Feast this past week has been how to scale successful social ventures.  This has been on my mind a lot recently as I have been working informally with both Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) and Decision Education Foundation (DEF) on this puzzle.  SEI is extremely successful...

A superb discussion of the need and risks of financial innovation.  Evolution, complexity, simplicity, and why an equivalent of an FDA approval process may be just what the doctor ordered.  Unfortunately critical thinking is probably still required: “We are told, particularly in the U. S., that...

Are you bluffing enough or too much?  At work, at home, with friends?  Peter principle?  Good guys finish last?  As in poker, bluffing the bluff wins games.  Now we have The Game and various pickup artists passing on the knowledge (big goofy hat required):  " ...we present an evolutionary model that...

It is by now common wisdom that our current financial crisis is due in large part to misplaced incentives in our financial system. Analysts and fund managers were rewarded for short-term thinking and risk-taking. If we can rework our financial system to reward long-term, careful planning, it is often...

Heng, et al recently published a review paper that brings together and touches on many different aspects of cancer complexity.  I thought this an opportunity to selectively quote the paper and organize the quotes loosely around various complex systems concepts they relate to.  I'm curious whether this...

In Juan Enriquez' TED talk earlier this year, he made the point that humans have entered a new phase of evolution, one that has not been seen on before modern humans and their technology.  This, of course, is one of the main theses of Ray Kurzweil's book, The Singularity is Near, and the main justification...

As an occasional reader of science blogs, I can't help but notice the extraordinary amount of time and space devoted to the debunking of Creationist and Intelligent Design "science." Certainly there are good reasons for this: the poor reasoning and scant evidence behind such pseudoscience makes it an easy...

Has anyone played Foldit, the protein-folding game that is designed to advance the science?  This Wired article makes it sound like Ender's Game meets biochemistry!  Sounds like the Poehlman kid is the protein-folding equivalent of Stephen Wiltshire.  I love the crowdsourcing, the meta-evolutionary...

Yesterday's puzzler was to guess the species being talked about here: One became super efficient at gobbling up its food, doing so at a rate that was about a hundred times faster than the other. The other was slower at acquiring food, but produced about three times more progeny per generation. The answer...

Without doing a text search (that would be cheating), guess what species is being referred to in this quote about the evolution of competing strategies: One became super efficient at gobbling up its food, doing so at a rate that was about a hundred times faster than the other. The other was slower at...

In "Game Theory: Can a Round of Poker Solve Afghanistan's Problems?" Major Richard J.H. Gash creates a simple two player game to show how game theory can be used to influence military planning. Gash's game involves two villages in Afghanistan with the choice to either support the "Coalition" or support the...

Despite hundreds of billions of dollars appropriated for cancer research, as well as the efforts of thousands of the world's best minds, progress in preventing or curing cancer has been almost non-existent. I find this unacceptable. We should be doing better. We need to be doing better. So what's the...
