Definition(s)

  • Adaptation has a diversity of meanings, even within areas in which it is widely used, such as anthropology, biology, the humanities, and in common parlance. The study of adaptations is a central activity in biology, where interpretations of the concept have received much scrutiny in recent years, for example, in the articles and monographs of Andrews, Brandon,Gould and Lewontin, Gould and Vrba, Rose and Lauder, Sober, and Williams.
