Unreferenced date September 2007 Multilineal evolution is a 20th century social theory about the evolution of societies and culture s. It is composed of many competing theories by various sociologists and anthropologists. This theory has replaced the older 19th century set of theories of unilineal evolution . When critique of classical social evolutionism became widely accepted, modern anthropological and sociological approaches have changed to reflect their responses to the critique of their predecessor. Modern theories are careful to avoid unsourced, ethnocentric speculation, comparisons, or value judgements more or less regarding individual societies as existing within their own historical contexts. These conditions provided the context for new theories such as cultural relativism and multilineal evolution. By the 1940s cultural anthropologists such as Leslie White and Julian Steward sought to revive an evolutionary model on a more scientific basis, and succeeded in establishing an approach known as the neoevolutionism . White rejected the opposition between primitive and modern societies but did argue that societies could be distinguished based on the amount of energy they harnessed, and that increased energy allowed for greater social differentiation. Steward on the other hand rejected the 19th century notion of progress, and instead called attention to the Darwinian notion of adaptation, , arguing that all societies had to adapt to their environment in some way. The anthropologists Marshall Sahlins and Elman Service wrote a book, Evolution and Culture , in which they attempted ... evolution.

Orphan date February 2009 Managed evolution , in telecommunications , is a process by which a Communications Service Provider CSP may deploy and use new network or software technologies in concert with existing network assets, Operations Support Systems OSS and or Business Support Systems BSS for technical or financial benefit, while investing in and deploying New Generation OSS NGOSS . Managed Evolution leverages methodologies, expertise, and technology tools that focus on building a single or federated view of data across all network layers e.g. OSI Model and services. Typically, a single system has responsibility for stewardship of data and federates only the necessary data to systems serving other layers or domains. The approach is designed to reduce risk, lower operations expenses, improve time to market and enhance the overall end user experience. Typically, CSPs evaluate the following business areas when following a managed approach to evolution. These areas commonly span financial, technical, human resource and business process concerns and include Operational expenditure OPEX Capital expenditure CAPEX The speed with which new telecommunications services be offered based on new and existing network and operational capabilities. The interoperability of new systems with existing systems in the network The risk to current operational continuity of implementing new systems Managed evolution applies to any new technology initiative that seeks to leverage existing assets. This could include using SONET SDH networks to provide Metro Ethernet or using a mix of copper and optical access facilities to deliver Fiber to the x FTTX broadband services, as examples.
