Human-Machine Communication Scholarship Trends
Despite a relatively short history, the modern-day study of communication has grown into multiple subfields. To better understand the relationship between Human-Machine Communication (HMC) research and traditional communication science, this study examines the published scholarship in 28 communication-specific journals from 2011–2021 focused on human-machine communication (HMC). Findings suggest limited prior emphasis of HMC research within the 2…
Effects of mediated communication on conflict behavior, resolution, and affect in romantic couples
Mediated communication such as text messaging influences how romantic couples engage in and perceive conflict interactions, but the precise nature of these effects is unclear. We randomly assigned 43 romantic couples to engage in a conflict interaction either face-to-face ( n = 23 couples) or using a text-based messaging application ( n = 20 couples). Participants completed self-report measures of positive and negative conflict behaviors (e.g., h…

Romanticism, Origins, and the History of Heredity
The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Ethics
Evolutionary ethics - the application of evolutionary ideas to moral thinking and justification - began in the nineteenth century with the work of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, but was subsequently criticized as an example of the naturalistic fallacy. In recent decades, however, evolutionary ethics has found new support among both the Darwinian and the Spencerian traditions. This accessible volume looks at the history of thought about evolu…

The Romantic Conception of Life
The positive pursuit of history can thus promote another kind of liberation: cracking thought encrusted by traditional presumption and surface interpretation, a new life. Historical reconstructions have incorporated wider biographical accounts than might be expected in a history of science and philosophy. Most histories of thought have centered their analyses on the detached ideas, theories, and observations of a period. A history of Romantic bio…
Klelmeyer and the Organic Powers of Nature
Kielmeyer remains an enigmatic figure. Kielmeyer attempted to demonstrate from inductive evidence that teleological laws operated in nature in the same manner as mechanistic laws and that such telic laws explained the balance of faculties throughout the animal kingdom. These laws gave an account not only of the development of the embryo, but also the development of species out of one another and, ultimately, out of the inorganic. Kielmeyer distin…
Darwin's Romantic Biology
Darwin's conception of nature and man has been typically regarded as the very antithesis of the Romantic. Romantics such as Schelling and Goethe argued that the usual dualism between mind and nature was founded in a faulty metaphysics, especially of the Kantian variety. This perception of Darwin's moral theory flows from a further presumption, namely, that he eliminated from nature the kinds of values the Romantics thought secreted therein. This …
Denouement
At the turn of the eighteenth century, with the catalysts of the French and Kantian revolutions, everything seemed to change. A group gathered in Jena—poets, novelists, philosophers, historians, literary critics—individuals who self-consciously attempted to create things anew. Their very style of life announced that ancient and corroded chains of philosophic, moral, and scientific assumptions had been broken. Their ideas flashed with originality,…

The Tragic Sense of Life
The Cambridge Companion to the 'Origin of Species'
The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is universally recognised as one of the most important science books ever written. The Origin of Species is also a work of great cultural and religious significance, in that Darwin maintained that all organisms, including humans, are part of a natural process of growth from simple forms. This Companion commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species and examines its main argum…

Leptin, adiposity, and testosterone in captive male macaques
Leptin is considered to act as a signal relating somatic energetic status to the reproductive system. However, the nature of that signal and its relationship with male reproductive function across nonhuman primate species are unclear. We suggest that species-specific differences in leptin physiology may be related to the degree of environmental variation and variation in the importance of energy stores for male reproduction. In order to test the …

The Romantic Conception of Life
Robert J. Richards's magisterial *Romantic Conception of Life* reinterprets the origins of modern biology. Richards argues that a major current of biological thought in the nineteenth century-what he calls "romantic biology"-arose in opposition to the dominant mechanistic approach to life. Romantic biology, according to Richards, emphasized the interconnectedness of living things, the role of historical development, and the importance of understa…

The Emergence of Evolutionary Biology of Behaviour in the Early Nineteenth Century
The sciences of ethology and sociobiology have as premisses that certain dispositions and behavioural patterns have evolved with species and, therefore, that the acts of individual animals and men must be viewed in light of innate determinates. These ideas are much older than the now burgeoning disciplines of the biology of behaviour. Their elements were fused in the early constructions of evolutionary theory, and they became integral parts of th…

Lloyd Morgan's theory of instinct
Darwin's proposal of two sources of instinct--natural selection and inherited habit--fostered among late nineteenth century evolutionists a variety of conflicting notions concerning the mechanisms of evolution. The British comparative psychologist C. Lloyd Morgan was a cardinal figure in restructuring the orthodox Darwinian conception to relieve the confusion besetting it and to meet the demands of the new biology of Weismann. This paper traces t…

Why Darwin delayed, or interesting problems and models in the history of science
Though Darwin had formulated his theory of evolution by natural selection by early fall of 1837, he did not publish it until 1859 in the Origin of Species. Darwin thus delayed publicly revealing his theory for some twenty years. Why did he wait so long? Initially this may not seem an important or interesting question, but many historians have so regarded it. They have developed a variety of historiographically different explanations. This essay c…

Darwin and the Emergence of Evolutionary Theories of Mind and Behavior
With insight and wit, Robert J. Richards focuses on the development of evolutionary theories of mind and behavior from their first distinct appearance in the eighteenth century to their controversial state today. Particularly important in the nineteenth century were Charles Darwin's ideas about instinct, reason, and morality, which Richards considers against the background of Darwin's personality, training, scientific and cultural concerns, and i…
