Analogy is a two-component fabric system for weatherproof clothing based on "biomimicry" of fur (the system was originally called "Nikwax Biological Analogy")...

norms, customs, traditions, and institutions. A common analogy called the organic or biological analogy, popularized by Herbert Spencer, presents these parts...

homologos from ὁμός homos 'same' and λόγος logos 'relation'. Similar biological structures or sequences in different taxa are homologous if they are derived...

watchmaker analogy or watchmaker argument is a teleological argument, an argument for the existence of God. In broad terms, the watchmaker analogy states...

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of both chemistry and...

called higher evolution, is the idea that the mind or spirit, in analogy to biological evolution, collectively evolves from a simple form dominated by...

that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution. Memes do this through processes analogous to those of variation...

evolution and its elaboration in the light of subsequent advances in biological research, have shown that adaptation through natural selection comes about...

Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey. It is one of a family of common feeding...

Irreducible complexity (IC) is the argument that certain biological systems with multiple interacting parts would not function if one of the parts were...

biologists use the phrase "honest signals" in a direct, statistical sense. Biological signals, like warning calls or resplendent tail feathers, are honest if...

memetics draws widely from biology and, as a subset of memetics, relies upon analogies between genes, evolutionary pressure, and the cultural transmission of...
