• Etiological Theories of Function: A Geographical Survey (1998, background): “…theory of biological functions – which defines the function of a trait in terms of its evolutionary history – has attracted a growing number of adherents (see, e.g., Millikan 1984, 1989b; Neander 1991a, 1991b; Griffiths 1993; Godfrey-Smith 1993, 1994; Mitchell 1995; Allen & Bekoff 1995).”
