  Edge: BRIAN GOODWIN
Brian should be described as a theoretical biologist.
He was introduced into biology from early days, but more recently he has had a structuralist perspective, reaching for fundamental patterns on some expression of life.
Goodwin is a member of the Board of Directors of the Sante Fe Institute.

 A Conversation with Three Scientists:  Philip Ball, Brian Goodwin and Ian Stewart
Brian Goodwin: I believe that we do need to learn from natural process about how to be appropriately creative ourselves, meaning that our activities should be appropriate to whatever is the context within which we are acting.
Goodwin: There is a sense in which we are now going back historically and picking up aspects of knowing that were put aside by Western science so that they can be integrated into a more comprehensive, and more sustainable, manner of living on the planet.
Goodwin: Since the separation of the arts and the sciences in the Renaissance, we have been systematically separating qualities from quantities, the latter occupying a position of individual peculiarity that has tended to produce highly idiosyncratic art forms that emphasise the individual rather than a collective awareness of relevant creativity.

 Offprint 1 From Perspectives in Ethology, Vol. 2, Behavioural Design, edited by N. S. Thompson.
Even if Goodwin's vision were true in its extreme form it would still not undermine the statement that adaptations, to the extent that they are for the benefit of something, must be for the benefit of self- replicating entities-genes.
Instead of belittling Darwinism, I think that Brian Goodwin should see his version of embryonic development as one of Darwinism's greatest achievements and the key to the blossoming of further great achievements.

 SS > NF reviews > Brian C. Goodwin
Goodwin wants to put the organism back into biology, ousting, or at least complementing, the role of the genes.
Goodwin provides varied examples of structure that seem to be caused mostly by the dynamic processes occurring as the organism develops, and only tweaked by any genetic component.
For example the whorls that continually appear and then disappear on the stalk of Acetabularia in the early stages of its development have no very obvious adaptive explanation, but can be explained as a natural consequence of symmetry breaking and dynamical processes during the growth of the stalk.

 How The Leopard Changed Its Spots: ARN Book Review
But Goodwin, his colleague Gerry Webster, and other structuralists have consistently shaken the tree of biology, insisting that the conceptual and evidential fruit tumbling down from that tree doesn't belong in any Darwinian bushel basket.
Goodwin's own solution, like many of those connected with new-wave complexity thinking (e.g., the Santa Fe Institute), is to search for "generic properties" of complex systems, tractable under mathematical and computer analysis, to build organisms.
Goodwin concedes that living systems are distinguished from nonliving systems, no matter how complex, by the presence of "powerful particulars that give them the capacity to regenerate and reproduce their own natures under particular conditions." So we are brought back, despite the author's intentions, to genes and history as distinguishing characteristics of organisms.

 Amazon.ca: How the Leopard Changed Its Spots: The Evolution of Complexity: Books: Brian Goodwin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Goodwin, a noted proponent of the complexity movement, bashes neo-Darwinists and molecular reductionists as holders of an untenable evolutionary view.
Goodwin provides a compelling argument that an investigation of the development of complexity and "emergent properties" from chaos will yield a theory of biological evolution that will unify this process with concepts in the physical sciences and also provide an accurate means of explaining the diversity of morphologies found in living organisms.
Goodwin describes how Sol Spiegelman put some viral RNA in a test tube, along with a "replicase" molecule whose job is to duplicate RNA.

 Goodwin - How the Leopard Changed its Spots
It seems that Goodwin is indulging in a bit of creationism, in the form of a straw man. Here we find him saying that, because evolution is explained in terms of genes,
Goodwin announces he has detected 3 main inconsistencies in neo-Darwinism.
Goodwin suggests that there is experimental evidence (John Cairns) that bacteria and yeasts can change their DNA "in a directed, adaptive manner".

Brian Goodwin's book might be worth reading from the perspective that it brings a voice to a little-heard structuralist perspective on evolution.
Goodwin's knowledge of Darwinian theory is inadequate to critique it, and his knowledge of genetics abyssmal.
Goodwin's central thesis is that organisms adapt out of a structural interaction with the environment.

 EDGE 3rd Culture: A TALK WITH BRIAN GOODWIN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Brian Goodwin looks on biology as an exact science, and sees the "new biology" less as a historical science than as an enterprise similar to physics in its emphasis on principles of order.
Goodwin is strongly opposed to the reductionist view of the ultra-Darwinians, and much more comfortable with the complexity ideas of Stuart Kauffman and with Francisco Varela's holistic approach to biology.
In this interview he explores the need to develop ways of perceiving and understanding wholes that are required within a science of qualities.

Chaos theory and the life sciences are a natural combination but it's still a wonder how fresh and intuitive the material is in their able hands.
Sole and Goodwin nimbly present a necessarily complex subject to a wide audience; Signs of Life ought to become a classic among the scientifically literate.
Sole and Goodwin would argue that complex biological systems are very complex, and that their response to sudden changes in conditions can result in wildly unpredictable outcomes.
