• How Biology Became Social, and What it Means for Social Theory (2014, background): “Experiential factors in this novel biosocial view are not merely permissive but instructive (Griffiths and Stotz, 2007).”
• Direct-fit to nature: an evolutionary perspective on biological (and artificial) neural networks (2019, background): “An organism’s genome, analogous to a given ANN architecture, implicitly encodes certain structural assumptions about the statistics of the world and objective functions (Maynard Smith, 2000; Godfrey-Smith, 2007; Adami, 2012; Zador, 2019).”
• When Traditional Essentialism Fails: Biological Natural Kinds (2007, background): “This view is natural in light of recent disputes about whether there is one or two or three gene concepts—or no scientifically useful gene concept at all (Beurton et al. 2000; Griffiths and Stotz 2007; Moss 2003; Stotz and Griffiths 2004; Waters 2000).”
