Development and the Baldwin Effect
Baldwin's classic hypothesis states that behavioral plasticity can speed evolution by (a) smoothing the fitness landscape and (b) indirect genetic assimilation of acquired cha...

Transient Phenomena in Learning and Evolution: Genetic Assimilation and Genetic Redistribution
Deacon has recently proposed that complexes of genes can be integrated into functional groups as a result of environmental changes that mask and unmask selection pressures. For exa...

The Baldwin effect under spatial isolation and autonomous reproduction
The impact of learning on evolution in dynamic environments undergoes recognized stages of the Baldwin Effect although its cause is not clear. To identify it experimentally, we de...

Genetic Assimilation and Canalisation in the Baldwin Effect
The Baldwin Effect indicates that individually learned behaviours acquired during an organism’s lifetime can influence the evolutionary path taken by a population, without any di...
