Skipper, Jr.	The Heuristic Role of Sewall Wright's 1932 Adaptive Landscape Diagram	2004	9	.pdf	application/pdf	4740	334	53	The Heuristic Role of Sewall Wright's 1932 Adaptive Landscape Diagram Sewall Wright's adaptive landscape is the most influential heuristic in evolutionary biology. Wright's biographer, Provine, criticized Wright's adaptive landscape, claiming that its heuristic value is 1. This paper offers a new interpretation of the heuristic role of Wright's (1932) adaptive landscape and Ruse claim that the diagram plays its heuristic role as an illustration of Wright's "shifting balance" dynamical behavior of population genetics models, but that Wright's use of it as such is of dubious value. In Wright's 1932 paper, he used the adaptive landscape diagram to demonstrate why he thought such an Wright's adaptive landscape diagram does not successfully illustrate his view of the evolutionary process. Provine's doubts about the heuristic value of the adaptive landscape diagram are adaptive landscape diagram as a visual heuristic to evaluate the dynamical behavior of population Fig. 1B is Wright's adaptive landscape diagram.	./cache/work_vx4ncicwxzejnl2i4bbf7eblke.pdf	./txt/work_vx4ncicwxzejnl2i4bbf7eblke.txt
