Its fiftieth anniversary seems like a good occasion to compare Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene (1976) with other science classics. As is often the case with influential ideas, its core message is deeply rooted in earlier thought. Moreover...

The sympatric speciation is an important phenomenon in the Evolution where a population able to express two different phenotypes gives rise to a new species without a physical separation from the initial population. Our goal is to show as s...

Using as a narrative theme the example of Darwin's finches, a microscopic agent-based model is introduces to study sympatric speciation as a result of competition for resources in the same ecological niche. Varying competition among individ...

In this paper we present a first analysis on the analogies between the theory of evolution and business management. In both cases, the mathematical tool, in this approach, is the game theory. We have preliminarly proposed historiographical ...

It has long been understood that new genes evolve from duplication events and subsequent divergence. Since 2006, however, many studies have argued that entire protein-coding genes can emerge "from scratch" by recruiting "random", non-coding...
