On disagreements of theories of evolution

Several theories of evolution have been developed since the initial work of Charles Darwin. Some are more gene-centric, while others argue for populations/species as the main units of selection. The overall picture is further complicated by the debates about the main driving forces behind the evolution processes. This has led to the formulation of Modern synthesis, Extended evolution synthesis, Selfish gene, Carcino-Evo, and Genome chaos theories, to name a few. While seen by many as contradicting and even mutually exclusive, I believe all these theories are in fact complementary. In this manuscript, I present arguments for looking at all of the above theories as various representations of an overarching motive that in fact makes them part of a fractal picture of evolutionary mechanisms and processes.

Abstract

Several theories of evolution have been developed since the initial work of Charles Darwin. Some are more gene-centric, while others argue for populations/species as the main units of selection. The overall picture is further complicated by the debates about the main driving forces behind the evolution processes. This has led to the formulation of Modern synthesis, Extended evolution synthesis, Selfish gene, Carcino-Evo, and Genome chaos theories, to name a few. While seen by many as contradicting and even mutually exclusive, I believe all these theories are in fact complementary. In this manuscript, I present arguments for looking at all of the above theories as various representations of an overarching motive that in fact makes them part of a fractal picture of evolutionary mechanisms and processes.
