• Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Lifetime learning was first suggested to have an impact on accelerating evolution by Baldwin (1896).”
• More on how and why: cause and effect in biology revisited (2013, background): “If so, much of adaptive evolutionary change may have its origin in plastic responses to novel environments, later followed by genetic changes that stabilize and fine-tune those phenotypes, rather than the other way around (Baldwin 1896; West-Eberhard 2003; Piersma and van Gils 2011).”
• Evolutionary ecology of learning: insights from fruit flies (2009, unknown): “However, as far back as the end of the nineteenth century, several authors proposed that under some circumstances learning may facilitate evolutionary adaptation to a novel environment (Baldwin 1896; Osborn 1896).”
