David Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) analogy homology multicellularity sexual reproduction Quantitative genetics Developmental biology and evolutionary biology are both mature integrative disciplines which started in the19th century and then followed parallel and independent scientific pathways. Recently, a genetical componenthas stepped into both disciplines (developmental genetics and evolutionary genetics) pointing out the need forfuture convergent maturation. Indeed, the Evo-Devo approach is becoming popular among developmentalbiologists, based on the facts that distant groups share a common ancestry, that precise phylogenies can beworked out and that homologous genes often play similar roles during the development of very differentorganisms.In this essay, I try to show that the real future of Evo-Devo thinking is still broader. The evolutionary theoryis a set of diverse concepts which can and should be used in any biological field. Evolutionary thinkingtrains to ask « why » questions and to provide logical and plausible answers. It can shed some light on adiversity of general problems such as how to distinguish homologies from analogies, the costs and benefitsof multicellularity, the origin of novel structures (e.g. the head), or the evolution of sexual reproduction. Inthe next decade, we may expect a progressive convergence between developmental genetics and quantitativegenetics. 2001 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32773308 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.73 |
