  1. Conditions and limitations of prediction-making in biology.Zdzislaw Kochanski - 1973 - Philosophy of Science 40 (1):29-51.
    Some scientists believe that although evolutionary theory is explanatory, it does not have, in contrast to the theories of physics, any predictive power. This raises the question of its testability. The analysis given shows that there are good reasons to claim the unpredictability of evolutionary events; nevertheless, the evolutionary theory has potential predictive power. It is argued that the difference between biology and physics lies not in the predictive power of the theories involved, but in the different weight which is (...)

    The law of inequality of development in the evolution.The law of inequality is manifested by the universality of the fact, that each living functional system consists of individual components, whose momentary evolutive state, as well as their evolutive trends and speeds are different.The fact itself depends directly from the lack of direction of the elementary changes of heredity .The law is to be considered as one of the eight general laws of evolution which form together a whole.It is pretended that (...)
