![]() ![]() On the other version, the macroevolutive one, the probability of extinction for a group of organisms, usually a family, is hypothesised inside the group, and at random between groups. On the first version, microevolutionary, each individual is an experiment of the mixture of genes of their progenitors, which enables species to evolve quickly. ![]() The Red Queen analogy is used in order to explain two phenomena- the advantage of sexual reproduction at an individual level, and the everlasting arms race between species. Curiosity is presented as the engine leading to learning.» «Lewis Carroll proposes, to both adults and children, an amazing journey to knowledge in the broadest sense of the word. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!’ ![]() ‘Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running YOU can do, to keep in the same place. ‘A slow sort of country!’ said the Queen. ‘Well, in OUR country,’ said Alice, still panting a little, ‘you’d generally get to somewhere else-if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.’ ‘Of course it is,’ said the Queen, ‘what would you have it?’ ‘Why, I do believe we’ve been under this tree the whole time! Everything’s just as it was!’ The Queen propped her up against a tree, and said kindly, ‘You may rest a little now.’Īlice looked round her in great surprise. ‘Faster! Faster!’ And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardly touching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground, breathless and giddy. She sees that, even though they were moving fast, practically they had not moved from where they were: The concept is taken from Through the Looking Glass, where, on its second chapter, the main character is taken by the Queen’s hand in order to be able to run together in her journey along the squares of the chessboard. It is a hypothesis on evolution, which describes the continuous necessary improvement of species, only with the purpose of maintaining the status quo within their environment. The Red Queen Hypothesis is also known as the Red Queen Effect or The Red Queen Race. lustració original de John Tenniel THE RED QUEEN HYPOTHESIS. ![]()
