Abstract

Some biologists and philosophers of biology claim selection can “create” novel traits. Others claim creativity is to be found only in development. I here endorse the former claim, but take seriously and address the concerns that underlie the latter. My discussion of these issues is informed by recent work that champions the “return of the organism” to mainstream evolutionary biology, and I suggest how population and organismal perspectives on trait origins can be reconciled.

性状起源的种群和有机体观点

一些生物学家和生物学哲学家声称选择可以“创造”新的特征。另一些人则认为创造力只存在于发展中。我在此赞同前一种说法，但认真对待并处理构成后一种说法的各种关切。我对这些问题的讨论是由最近的工作所启发的，这些工作支持“有机体的回归”成为主流进化生物学，我建议如何在性状起源方面调和种群和有机体的观点。

期刊介绍： Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences is devoted to historical, sociological, philosophical and ethical aspects of the life and environmental sciences, of the sciences of mind and behaviour, and of the medical and biomedical sciences and technologies. Contributions are from a wide range of countries and cultural traditions; we encourage both specialist articles, and articles combining historical, philosophical, and sociological approaches; and we favour works of interest to scientists and medics as well as to specialists in the history, philosophy and sociology of the sciences.
