Form, function and biological architecture: A proposal for classifying the evolution of complexity

The concepts of evolution and evolutionary change are both vague and polysemous: they apply to very diverse phenomena and are not always precisely defined. Moreover, the widespread classical neo-Darwinian paradigm tends to impose an adaptationist scheme on the analysis of evolutionary facts, in whic...

Moreover, the widespread classical neo-Darwinian paradigm tends to impose an adaptationist scheme on the analysis of evolutionary facts, in which functions play a role logically prior to traits and their forms. In this paper, we propose, as a preliminary step to the development of hypotheses about the causes of change, a form-function space model that can address when trait change occurs in a biological architecture. Such a model allows us to clearly show the evolutionary scope of the different types of changes in form and function. Los conceptos de evolución y cambio evolutivo son a la vez laxos y polisémicos: se aplican a fenómenos muy diferentes y no siempre se definen con precisión. La aplicación extendida del paradigma neo-darwinista clásico, además, suele imponer un esquema adaptacionista al análisis de los hechos evolutivos, en el cual las funciones juegan un papel lógicamente anterior a los rasgos y sus formas. En este artículo proponemos, como etapa previa a la formulación de hipótesis sobre las causas del cambio, un modelo de espacio forma-función que pueda responder a preguntas como cuándo se da un cambio en los rasgos de una arquitectura biológica y de qué tipo son estos cambios. Un modelo de este tipo nos permite ver claramente cuándo se da un cambio en la forma o en la función y qué alcance evolutivo tiene.  Escuela de Filosofía.
