On the Origin of Autonomy by Bernd Rosslenbroich - 9783319041407
Explore the fundamental concepts of autonomy and its integral role in the major transitions of evolution. This comprehensive volume, "On the Origin of Autonomy," by Bernd Rosslenbroich, offers a new perspective on evolutionary innovation, examining the genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic factors that drive change. Discover how an increase in individual organismal autonomy—emancipation from the environment with enhanced self-regulation and self-control—has been a recurring central aspect of macroevolutionary innovations. The book delves into the history and epistemology of autonomy, tracing its development through major evolutionary shifts and the generation of organs and physiological systems. Synthesizing insights from zoology, comparative physiology, morphology, molecular biology, neurobiology, and ethology, this work argues for the relevance of autonomy in understanding the link between biological evolution and human cultural abilities. It also discusses autonomy's relationship with adaptation, niche construction, and phenotypic plasticity within an integrative systems biology approach. ISBN 9783319041407. Book cover type: Hardcover, Language version: English, Written by: Bernd Rosslenbroich. Features 61 b/w illustrations and 297 pages.
