Fluid construction grammar as a biological system
Mapping insights and frameworks from one scientific domain to another is often useful because it encourages communication between different scientific fields and acts as a conduit for the exchange of mathematical and computational tools. This paper introduces analogies between concepts and mechanisms from molecular biology and language processing. The main purpose is to find ways for understanding language as a ‘living’, dynamically evolving, sel…
Evolutionary biological foundations of the origin of language
This article explains the evolution of human language and the brain. There are many ways organisms can adapt to moving targets. One of the ways is genetic evolution, when natural selection acts on variation in the population, selecting against those alleles that provide the least fit to the environment. The second way is by utilizing the phenotypic plasticity of a genotype. The third way is by means of systems and organs, which have evolved to co…
Path Dependence and Historical Contingency in Biology
As Smith & Morowitz (1982) once aptly wrote, biology is a discipline ‘between history and physics’. On one hand, we do have laws in biology, on top of those coming from physics and chemistry. The model system of population genetics is not very different from laws of theoretical physics, except that it contains more variables and parameters. In mechanics we must know the mass of objects, some key forces and the gravitational constant: in populatio…
The Major Transitions in Evolution
Over the history of life there have been several major changes in the way genetic information is organized and transmitted from one generation to the next. These transitions include the origin of life itself, the first eukaryotic cells, reproduction by sexual means, the appearance of multicellular plants and animals, the emergence of cooperation and of animal societies, and the unique language ability of humans. This ambitious book provides the f…
