| Abstract: | The themes, problems and challenges of developmental systems theory as described in Cycles of Contingency are discussed. We argue in favor of a robust approach to philosophical and scientific problems of extended heredity and the
integration of behavior, development, inheritance, and evolution. Problems with Sterelny's proposal to evaluate inheritance
systems using his `Hoyle criteria' are discussed and critically evaluated. Additional support for a developmental systems
perspective is sought in evolutionary studies of performance and behavior modulation of fitness. |
