Research On Programme And Demarcation Problem Of Contemporary Darwinism

As an evolutionary thought,Darwinism provided a new way of thinking for many controversies about evolution at that time and proposed a crucial evolutionary mechanism for the future,natural selection.Evolutionary biology as a science is also a continuation of Darwinism.In the past century,evolutionary biology has experienced the formation of the neo-Darwinism paradigm and the modern synthesis movement,which constituted the theoretical framework of evolutionary biology with population genetics as the theoretical core,and pointed out the research methods of contemporary evolutionary biology.With the development of the theory,the modern synthesis has also been much criticism;nowadays,there is a voice,called "extended evolutionary synthesis",that modern synthesis theory already cannot satisfy the needs of the theory of evolution,the need for innovation.on the one hand,is for the evolution of commitment is different,on the other hand,is the study of evolution dimensions have changed.In the debate of contemporary evolutionary theory,Darwinism has been reflected gradually,so the clarification of Darwinism's historical development and the programme is also the clarification of the future development of evolutionary theory and the study of evolutionary thought.Chapter one is the early form of Darwinism.In this chapter,the central concept for clarification and instructions for early Darwinism,for Darwinism in the 19 th century,there are two main parts,one is the main thought of Darwin,mainly reflected in the origin of species for evolutionary phenomena and the declaration of the evolutionary mechanism;The second part is the development of Darwin's contemporaries in the 19 th century based on Darwinian thought,such as Wallace and Spencer,whom all developed the theory of evolution based on Darwinian thought,and the problems left in this period also laid the foundation for the development of evolution later.Chapter two is the revolution of Neo-Darwinism.Darwinism has exerted significant influence since its formation,but it has not made reasonable refute to other schools of thought,and Darwin has unsolved problems about evolution.The formation of the Neo-Darwinism paradigm makes Darwinism come back to the focus of the academic.Neo-Darwinism originated from the rise of genetics.Through the development of population genetics by Fisher,Haldane and Wright,constructed a mathematical system about evolution,solved some problems in the early Darwinism and provided a set of laws for evolutionary biology.Chapter three is the formation of modern synthesis movement and modern Darwinism.The modern synthesis movement continues the development of population genetics and carries on a synthesis of the whole biology from the perspective of evolution,aiming to treat biology as a science different from physical science.Chapter Four is Extended Synthesis and New Challenges of Darwinism.The development of contemporary evolutionary biology has made some modern synthesis principles no longer applicable,and some points of refutation stem from Darwin's original commitment to evolution.This return to Darwinism makes us rethink the core,scope,and character of Darwinism.Chapter Five is the programme of Darwinism and its demarcation.First,in order to explore the programme of Darwinism,this chapter explores the core of Darwinism,that the Darwinism solve problems as well as the core principles,then from all fields in the application of Darwinism,finally from the methodology of Darwinism from Darwinian two application forms are discussed,to clarify the principle and boundary of Darwinism.
