Abstract
- The article focuses on the complexity of evolution in nature. Terry Deacon, a well regarded professor of biological anthropology and linguistics at the University of California in Berkeley, California, infers that complexity is not always a gift to the fit, but rather more often to the lazy or the lucky. It discusses the natural selection which was first identified by Charles Darwin in "On the Origin of Species." Information regarding Deacon's study about relaxed selection is also discussed.
