Advantage Quote by Noam Chomsky

In general, the larger the breeding population, the slower the rate of evolution.

— Michio Kaku

Natural selection may lead to benefits for species, but these `higher' advantages can only arise as sequelae, or side consequences, of natural selection's causal…

— Stephen Jay Gould

The neutral zone of selective advantage in the neighbourhood of zero is thus so narrow that changes in the environment, and in the genetic…

— Ronald Fisher

Through the evolutionary process, those who are able to engage in social cooperation of various sorts do better in survival and reproduction.

— Robert Nozick

Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools.

— Peter R. Grant

There are a number of attributes of species and populations that are not of any particular selective advantage to any single individual in a…

— Ernst Mayr

When a trait is universal, evolutionary biologists look for a genetic explanation and wonder how that gene or genes might enhance survival or reproductive…

— Robin Marantz Henig

What I mean is, if you look at the behavior of an animal and ask, "Well, why did it do that?" and then consider…

— Hal Whitehead

It only takes twenty generations of selective breeding to create large differences or appearance and behavior in other mammals.

— Jonathan Haidt

“New mutations don't create new species; they create offspring that are impaired.”

— Lynn Margulis

Moreover, the concern of some that moving DNA among species would breach customary breeding barriers and have profound effects on natural evolutionary processes has…

— Paul Berg

Natural selection is all about the differential success of rival DNA in getting itself transmitted vertically in the species archives.

— Richard Dawkins
