1.2.3 Random dispersion and selection in the development of individuals

We conjecture that the same processes that are successful at a global level will also appear during individual development.

Random movements of limbs to learning how to crawl

We hypothesize that the progression of initial random motions of arms and legs until the baby learns to crawl is another example of randomization and selection.

From babbling to speech

We hypothesize that the progression of the baby from babbling to speech is another illustration of randomization and selection.

Curiosity, play and invention

We hypothesize that randomization and selection play important roles in play and invention.
