  1. Emergent evolution

    Emergent evolution is the hypothesis that, in the course of evolution , some entirely new properties, such as life and consciousness , appear at certain critical points, usually because of an unpredictable rearrangement of the already existing entities. The concept has influenced the development of systems theory and Complex systems complexity theory . Historical context The word emergence emergent was first used to describe the concept by George Lewes in volume two of his 1875 book Problems of Life and Mind p.  412 . Henri Bergson covered similar themes in the popular book Creative Evolution book Creative Evolution in 1907. It was further developed by Samuel Alexander in his Gifford Lectures at University of Glasgow Glasgow during 1916 18 and published as Space, Time, and Deity 1920 . The term emergent evolution was coined by C. Lloyd Morgan in his own Gifford lectures of 1921 22 at University of St. Andrews St. Andrews and published as Emergent Evolution 1923 . In an appendix to one lecture in his book, Morgan acknowledged the contributions of Roy Wood Sellars Evolutionary Naturalism 1922 .

  1. Viral evolution

    Merge Evolutionary virology date February 2010 Viral evolution is a subfield of evolutionary biology and virology that is specifically concerned with the evolution of virus es. Many virus es, in particular RNA virus es, have short generation times and relatively high mutation rates on the order of one point mutation or more per genome per round of replication for RNA viruses . This elevated mutation rate, when combined with natural selection , allows viruses to quickly adapt to changes in their host environment. Viral evolution is an important aspect of the epidemiology of viral diseases such as influenza influenza virus , AIDS HIV , and hepatitis e.g. HCV . It also causes problems in the development of successful vaccine s and antiviral drug s, as Resistance to antiviral drugs resistant mutation s often appear within weeks or months after the beginning of the treatment. RNA viruses are also used as a model system to study evolution in the laboratory. One of the main theoretical models to study viral evolution is the quasispecies model , as the viral quasispecies . Inter host and intra host evolution In evolutionary virology and to an extent in the wider field of pathology , inter host evolution is considered to represent the geological, i.e. visible or detectable, evolution of a virus while intra host evolution represents the invisible evolution of a virus. Adaptive changes acquired by inter host evolution are rarely lost once acquired. Changes acquired by intra host evolution may be lost if the evolutionary landscape changes, for example a population of viruses may become resistant to an antiviral drug while the host patient takes it, but rapidly revert to wild type if treatment ... 2002 .
