Constructivist Foundations 18 (1):101-103 (2022)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

By focusing on the organism, and the systemic phenomenon of autopoiesis, natural drift as proposed by Maturana and Mpodozis provides an alternative foundation to natural selection for discussing adaptation and evolution. It takes into account basic structural considerations that have been sorely absent from mainstream thinking.
