defines evolutionary innovations broadly as “the appearance of new characters or

from ontological, methodological, and empirical points of view, rendering (in

judgment on its utility. Under the heading Genetics and Development Brian
Charlesworth traces and comments on ideas about the evolutionary genetics of
adaptations, Rudolf Raff et al. discuss heterochrony with reference to current studies
of sea urchins, and Gerd Müller presents a “side-effect hypothesis” according to
