Dennett I 309
KauffmanVsDarwin: a definition of early development and thus the Baerian laws (all embryos of living beings look very similar at the beginning) do not constitute a special mechanism.
>Laws, >Laws of nature.
Rather, the definition of early development reflects the fact that the number of ways in which living beings can be improved has shrunk faster than the number of ways in later development.
>Niches.
Dennett I 310
For example, the foundations of the churches are more similar than the upper floors. Reason: Experimenting with decorations does not have such a fatal effect if they are carried out above where not everything can break down. Actually, there really aren't as many solutions at the beginning as there are later.
Explanation/Kauffman: to explain this, we do not have to look for steering mechanisms. It's self-explanatory. Evolution finds such paths again and again.
>Evolution, >Causal explanations.
