Birds, behavior, and anatomical evolution

TL;DR: The hypothesis that in higher vertebrates, behavior, rather than environmental change, is the major driving force for evolution at the organismal level is advanced and predicts accelerated anatomical evolution in species composed of numerous mobile individuals with the dual capacity for behavioral innovation and social propagation of new habits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experiential canalization of behavioral development: results

TL;DR: The present hypothesis is that normally occurring experience helps to achieve species-specific development by making the developing organism unresponsive to extraspecific influences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lamarck, evolution, and the inheritance of acquired characters.

TL;DR: Jean-Baptiste Lamarck’s ideas about organic change are surveyed, several ironies with respect to how his name is commonly remembered are identified, and some historical justice might be done by using the adjective “Lamarckian” to denote something more (or other) than a belief in the inheritance of acquired characters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moving inwards, moving outwards, moving upwards: the role of spirituality during the early stages of breast cancer

TL;DR: The paper outlines a threefold movement - inwards, outwards and upwards - that emerged from in-depth interviews with women who have breast cancer that captures something of the spiritual movement that women went through on their cancer journeys.
