Berlinski asked in his book that "Fitness" be derived from first
principles:
p.277 Firrs edtion Black Mischief
"... In general trouble arises simply because the connection between
biological traits and fitness is never derived from first principles.
Of course, this was done by Fisher in The Genetical Theory of Natural
Selection: he showed how fitness can be determined from survival and
reproduction (OK, under some simplifying assumptions).
JE:-
Would Dr O'Hara list these "simplifying assumptions". Also, would he please
answer the following:
1) From what exactly were they allowed to become simplified?
2) The significance of these simplifications to any science evolutionary
theory?
