Talk:Baldwin effect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I copied the Bladwin effect from http://www2.create.human.nagoya-u.ac.jp/baldwin/introduction.html

It is a very good simple summary worthy of sharing in wikipedia. I have emailed the site to ensure they don't mind.

[edit] merging baldwin topics

I suggest the baldwin topics be merged...

[edit] false dichotomy?

In fact it seems the 'Baldwinian evolution' article suggests a false dichotomy between it and Darwinian evolution. 'Baldwinian evolution' is not an alternative to Darwinism so much as it is a way of using Darwinism to explain Lamarck-like evolution. I think this article should be eliminated and pointed to 'Baldwin effect'.

[edit] lactose intolerance

The explanation of lactose intolerance is unclear. The article says that, 'a feedback loop operates whereby a dairy culture increases the selective advantage from this genetic trait'; why would a dairy culture increase the selective advantage of lactose intolerance?Hgilbert 15:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
