biology evolution orthogenic society			Wapner (1993) describes a holistic, developmental, systems-oriented perspective of parent development that is exemplified by the orthogenetic principle which, proceeds from an undifferentiated to a differentiated state, and a new level of organization. Transitions within fathering by Palkovitz, Rob; Palm, Glen / Fathering The orthogenetic implications are obvious, however the "force" that is driving the evolutionary change is not intrinsic or "vital" but extrinsic--originating from the structure of the Ecosystem it's self. Ecosystems as superorganisms: the neglected evolutionary implications by Woodley, Michael A. / Frontier Perspectives There is little point in reviewing the content of the already-published essays, especially since the orthogenetic interpretive framework deployed in them looks increasingly antique, as do the bias against rhetoric and in favor of "science," the bloody-minded quest for "reality" beneath the texts, the construction of "traditions" (complete with assessment of points for "contributions") and so forth.
