“If I were to give an award for the single best idea anyone has ever had, I’d give it to Darwin, ahead of Newton and Einstein and everyone else. In a single stroke, the idea of evolution by natural selection unifies the realm of life, meaning, and purpose with the realm of space and time, cause and effect, mechanism, and physical law.” ―Daniel Dennett, Darwin’s Dangerous Idea

Thomas Malthus ( ) “An Essay on the Principle of Population” Adam Smith ( ) “The Wealth of Nations” Notion of “the invisible hand” in economics Darwin: Major Influences

Charles Lyell ( ) “Principles of Geology” Notion of “uniformitariansim” vs. “catastrophism Darwin: Major Influences Galapagos finches

Population Genetics and the Modern Synthesis Sewell Wright ( ) Ronald Fisher ( ) J. B. S. Haldane( )

Tenets of the Modern Synthesis Natural selection is the major mechanism of evolutionary change and adaptation. Evolution is a gradual process, occurring via natural selection on very small random variations in individuals. Variation of this this sort is highly abundant in populations, and is not biased in any direction (e.g., it does not intrinsically lead to ``improvement'', as believed by Lamarck). The source of individual variation is random genetic mutations and recombinations. Macro-scale phenomena, such as the origin of new species, can be explained by the microscopic process of gene variation and natural selection.
