Biosemiotics and Evolution
Original language description
In this chapter we will discuss the biosemiotic view of evolution. In order to understand the role that sign action may play in the evolution of organisms, we attempt to provide an explanation encompassing an overview of what biosemiotics does, how its concepts play out in a naturalistic view of organisms, and what dimension these concepts open in regard to functional explanations in biology.The semiotic view of evolution is informed by the consideration that meaning-making is an essential feature of organisms with a causal role in behavior and evolution both at the individual level and in long time scales. Biosemiotic theory tries to uncover how exactly meaning-making builds and is built upon networks of relevance for organisms that act as markers for behavior, which is in turn inherited and an active participant in the long-term changes of organisms.
