grown into an extremely dynamic and active area. The intention is for this

Thanks to generous support from the CNRS GDR Mémoire, a prize of 400 EUR
will be awarded to each of the seven best submissions by early-career
researchers (PhD students and postdocs). Additional travel support for
early-career researchers will also be available, the amount available per
researcher to depend on the number of applicants. In order to be considered
for one of the seven prizes/the additional funding, please indicate your
early-career status in your abstract. If you have already submitted an
abstract and wish to be considered, please send an email to Kourken

[Educasup] Next Tuesday: Charles Pence - "The Wonderful Form of Cosmic Order": Bringing Statistics to Evolution

Charles Pence (Université catholique de Louvain)

“The Wonderful Form of Cosmic Order”: Bringing Statistics to Evolution

A PhilInBioMed seminar

Open to all
 Abstract

The introduction of statistical reasoning into evolutionary theory – and the 
corresponding changes in our concepts of chance and evolution that made it 
possible – did not happen overnight. In particular, many of the relevant 
biologists between 1900 and 1930 (such as W. F. R. Weldon, Karl Pearson, and R. 
A. Fisher) pointed back to Francis Galton as a vitally important precursor for 
their work. When we read Galton, however, it is far from immediately obvious 
why he would be taken to be so crucial by so many important successors. In this 
talk, I’ll explore some of Galton’s ideas about the relationship between 
micro-level variation and population change, and try to reconstruct what within 
his thought might have been seen to be so groundbreaking by biologists in the 
first part of the twentieth century. I will close by drawing some morals for 
our contemporary conception of evolutionary theory.
 
 
Charles Pence is a Philosopher of biology at the Université catholique de 
Louvain, Belgium. During his stay in Bordeaux, he will be available for 
discussions. If you would like to talk to him, please sign up here, so that we 
may arrange for a convinient time to meet.Further information on Charles Pence
