Via Scoop.it – Story and Narrative
In evolutionary science, storytelling is suspect. This is due, in large part, to the proliferation of “just so” stories which explain all traits and behaviors as optimal adaptations. When nothing can happen by chance or constraint and selection hones everything toward utility, the inevitable result is a kind of storytelling in which the current function of something is explained by its imagined usefulness in the evolutionary past. Not all evolutionary stories, however, are just so.
