En defensa de una teoría Gaia orgánica

De Castro Carranza, C. (2013). A defence of an organic Gaia theory. Ecosistemas 22(2):113-118. Doi.: 10.7818/ECOS.2013.22-2.17 Lovelock and other theorists of the Gaia Theory (Lenton 1998, 2004, Lovelock 2003, Volk 2010) were convinced by their critics, and modified their initial ideas about Lovelock’s Gaia Hypothesis (Lovelock and Margulis 1974, Lovelock 1979). Nevertheless, those criticisms begun with reductionistics presuppositions and, to a great extent, with mechanistic prejudices too, and are, therefore, disputable. In this paper an attempt to develop a scientific Gaia Theory from the initial Lovelock hypothesis is shown: Gaia is a teleological evolving organism, not necessarily based on or even compatible with Darwin natural selection.
