The Origin of the Eukaryotic Cell Based on Conservation of Existing Interfaces
Current theories about the origin of the eukaryotic cell all assume that during evolution a prokaryotic cell acquired a nucleus. Here, it is shown that a scenario in which the nucl...

Understanding Linguistic Evolution by Visualizing the Emergence of Topographic Mappings
We show how cultural selection for learnability during the process of linguistic evolution can be visualized using a simple iterated learning model. Computational models of linguis...
