Social and Biological Evolution

Abstract

Evolution poses some very special problems in scientific methodology. This paper offers a new approach to these problems, based on a model which was born in the management sciences, but which applies to the evolution of social and biological systems alike. Details of the model are presented and its methodological implications are discussed.
