Examples

  • Variation is only random with respect to fitness and is highly constrained by evolutionary history, and ofttimes not subject to selection at all.

    A Disclaimer for Behe? 2009

  • Variation is spread across a mean, and they show that variance depends on the natural cycling of environmental conditions, heritability, introgression, and balancing selection.

    Biomolecular Networks 2009

  • Variation is random (though not necessarily acausal), selection 'filters' the results with no goal whatsoever.

  • Variation is random (though not necessarily acausal), selection 'filters' the results with no goal whatsoever.

    Assessing Causality 2008

  • Variation is generally decoupled from selection; that is, heritable variations will occur regardless of the environment.

    A Message About ID 2007
