The standard theory of evolution is undergoing revision. The rise of molecular biology and evolutionary developmental biology, the -omics revolution, the recognition of niche construction theory and of multiple inheritance systems, among other advances in biological research, provide a wealth of new knowledge regarding the mechanisms of evolutionary change. An expanded theoretical framework is necessary for accommodating the novel concepts arising from these fields. This lecture will provide an overview of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis currently in the making and the debate that has resulted from different approaches to the reform of evolutionary theory.

Gerd B. Müller is Professor of Theoretical Biology at the University of Vienna and a member of the DK Faculty.
