Die Struktur des Zufalls als Motor der Veränderung

  • 4011 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Im vorhergehenden Kapitel habe ich mich – hoffentlich erfolgreich – bemüht, verborgene Absichten als Triebkräfte der Evolution beim Leser zu diskreditieren. Mein Argument war Ockhams Rasiermesser: Alle Einflüsse, welche nicht zweifelsfrei vorhanden sind, sollten aus der wissenschaftlichen Erklärung eines natürlichen Phänomens herausgehalten werden. Wie verhält es sich in dieser Hinsicht mit der häufig angeführten Zufälligkeit evolutionärer Veränderungen? Ist die Behauptung, Mutationen seien grundsätzlich zufälliger Natur, gleichbedeutend mit der Einführung eines zusätzlichen Faktors der Evolution, eben des Zufalls?
