Chimpanzee-human genetic gap

H,
I'll edit the quote back in but I found that Wright made an interesting comment on g-homeostasis in my recent reading
EvC Forum: The Theory of Gene Frequencies by S.Wright
making it something questionable when compared to any thing similar. Perhaps this was how Mayr managed to be deragoatory on the topic?

quote:

---

From the nature of error, the conception of which, as we have observed, includes as an essential element besides falisty the appearance of truth, there results the following important rule for the truth of our knowledge. In order to avoid errors - and no error is absolutely unavoidable, although it may be relatively so in cases where we cannot avoid judging even at the risk of falling into error - in order , then, to avoid errors we must try to discover and explain their source, namely, semblance.

If Mayr had used the analogy of the lethal in Lerner’s comparison between genetic and organismic homeostasis
EvC Forum: Is genetic homeostasis a barrier to 'macro' evolution?
then Wright’s reading of homeostasis
EvC Forum: The Theory of Gene Frequencies by S.Wright
remains but Mayr only expressed a semblance. I would have to verify this from Mayr’s writing directly. It is possible Mayr was operating with a different concept that lead him to misdegrade homeostasis. I have not investigated that directly however it appears Mayr was off the mark.I will try to show how the two "squares"(or rectangles) I drew here can retain where Mayr may have misentrained a discreteness that actually is the continuity of the butterfly catastrophe,

I will pick this up either in the thread on original sex or genetic homeostasis or in a thread on Wright.This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 02-04-2006 02:28 PM
