Subject: Evolution's Arrow
> Last year I sent you a notice about the publication of my book "Evolution's
> Arrow" and about its availability on the internet (at
> http://www4.tpg.com.au/users/jes999/ ).
>
> The journal "Complexity" has now published a review by Francis Heylighen of
> "Evolution's Arrow" and five other books that deal with progressive
> evolution and the emergence of new levels of complexity. The review (Volume
> 6, no 1, Pages 53-7) identifies where the new approach to the evolution of
> cooperative organisation developed in "Evolution's Arrow" goes beyond that
> presented by Maynard Smith and Szathmary in their books. A copy of the
> review is at: http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/Papers/Review_Complexity.pdf
>
> You might also be interested in having a look at a new paper of mine that
> entitled "Future Psychological
> Evolution". It has just been published in the online journal Dynamical
> Psychology, and can be accessed at http://goertzel.org/dynapsyc/
>
> The paper identifies how our psychological adaptability is limited in
> evolutionary terms, and then goes on to consider how these limitations might
> be overcome by the acquisition of new psychological skills and structures.
>
> The paper suggests that humans are not organisms that are forever
> constrained by their evolutionary history. Instead we can become
> self-evolving organisms - beings that have freed themselves from the
> constraints of their biological past and their upbringing, and are able to
> adapt in whatever ways are needed for future evolutionary success.
