Informational Behavior Theory of Evolution
|
The Informational Behavior Theory of Evolution is described in the book of biologist Zaza (Zaal) Kikvidze and philosopher and social scientist Gigi Tevzadze. By this theory, life can be understood as a process in which mass and energy are governed by information; this means that inevitably and without any exception all life can be considered social. Therefore, evolution of life represents a history of selection of living beings which were successful in their social system, i.e., selecting those who received and transferred information better than others. The media for receiving and transferring information is social behavior, which becomes increasingly sophisticated through the evolution as more successful means of information exchange become genetically fixated by selective reproduction. These changes result in a new phenotype and disseminate through the population. In contrast to other versions of modern evolutionary theory, the informational behavior theory of evolution is exceptionally interdisciplinary and combines knowledge from natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. The major feature of this theory is that it brings the ideas of selection through social behavior and its eventual improvement into the discourse on evolution. An important consequence of applying this theory is the explanation of the emergence of the idea of God (supreme governor) through the evolutionary process (below).
