1.1 Genetics and civilization, 4. As known, Darwin introduced no math whatsoever in his theory of origin of species. For a popular talk by Voevodsky, see “An Intuitive Introduction to Motivic Homotopy Theory”, video here, write-up here. Organisms are faced with the challenge of functioning and reproducing in the midst of both internal and external perturbations. Voevodsky has had a somewhat unusual career, for an interview from 2002 where he In recent years he has moved away from his work on K-theory, towards topics in applied math (for a while he was investigating population genetics) and foundations of mathematics. A recent PLoS One paper by Birky and colleagues attempts to define species for asexual animals using the theoretical framework that has been developed by population geneticists. Each generation, as a population, is slightly different at the genetic level than the one preceding it. Darwin hated math It is specifically in population genetics that one finally encounters some applications of probability theory and statistics. I'll remember him for several things, the foremost being his fantastic textbook with Motoo Kimura: An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory, the book that taught me the theory underlying evolutionary genetics. Preface to the first edition, xiii. Evolutionary theory predicts that organisms should evolve the ability to produce high fitness phenotypes in the face of environmental disturbances (environmental robustness) or genetic mutations (genetic robustness). So too for populations over time. 1.3 How should we conserve biodiversity?, 9. Many species concepts focus on reproductive isolation and are not applicable for defining What these authors try to do is introduce a rigorous way to define species that is based in existing theory. Using a balance of data and theory, coupled with basic and applied research examples, this book examines genetic and phenotypic variation in natural populations, the principles and mechanisms of evolutionary change, the interpretation of Preface to the second edition, xi. Apparently a “leading academic” had contacted him and said he planned to introduce Sailer's ideologically heretical material in his college course, but was wondering if there existed any remotely plausible arguments on the other side, .. 1.2 What should we conserve?, 5.
