2022/02 - 2022/02 The seminar 'underlying premises of evolutionary biology' included two speeches: from academics of the university of Buenos Aires and from UNED, Madrid. It addressed the implicit premises in adaptationist and population genetics models and whether these premises really support the claim of the models. (2022/02 - 2022/02)
