Selective Pressures between “ Cheap Tricks” and Evolutionary Neutrality: Lessons from the Function Debate

In this paper, I examine evolutionary constraints on functional ascriptions in biology. In particular, I focus on the role played in that respect by natural selection. Thus, in Section 2, an assessment of Cummins’ (2002) argument against the “ strong” and “ weak variations of neo-teleology” is given, which both rely on natural selection in grounding legitimate functional ascriptions. In Section 3, I introduce the main theories of neo-functionalization, to which Cummins refers in arguing against more moderate selectionist etiological accounts in the function debate. Accordingly, I argue in Section 4 that the scientific data in the neo-functionalization research, for example, in the case of human color vision, contrary to Cummins’ full evolutionary neutrality of function talk, offer a valuable support for a selectionist etiological account.
