| Abstract | In this paper we explore the impact of new levels ofselection in models of early evolution.We contrast two types of higher levels of selection. On the one hand we look at spatially explicitmodels of replicators in which, by a process of self-organization, new levels of selection ariseas large scale spatial patterns with a dynamics of their own. Alternatively externally imposedlevels of selection above the basic replicators are created by enclosing the replicators in vesicles.In this paper we first review some results on the impact of emerging higher levels of selection onthe evolutionary persistence of interacting co-evolvingreplicator systems. Moreover, we presenta vesicle model, which can potentially integrate emerging and imposed levels of selection. We use the models to examinethe classical problem information integration in early evolution. |
