Robert F. DeHaan

"The Theory of Macrodevelopment" / Evolution

Robert F. DeHaan, Ph.D, first formulated the Theory of Macrodevelopment in three articles in 1996 and 1997Fact|date=October 2007. It presents the evolution of life on earth as a nonlinear process, analogous to the nonlinear process of embryonic developtment--morphogenesis. In other words, the irreversible nonlinear macrodevelopment of the biosphere over millions of years parallels in important ways the irreversible nonlinear microdevelopment of the individual biological organism over its lifetime (especially as an embryo). His theory suggests bold new possibilities in evolutionary researchFact|date=October 2007.
