We are an international group of scientists developing evolutionary understanding of various aspects of life. In particular, we are interested in stochastic mechanisms of dynamics in biology, selection versus instruction debate, selection and self-organization, selective processes in general, variability and degeneracy versus specificity in hypervariable repertoires,  mechanisms of development, and many other issues that our members bring up.

The purpose of our group is to promote free discussions, which are unrestricted by member's affiliation, academic and social status, age, gender, religion, etc. In our group, all members have equal status, for example a student has the same value as a professor. We do not have a president or committee, nor any nominated members. Members are free to choose any level of activity, from being simply listed on our People page, to active participation in discussions, research collaborations, organization of meetings, supporting our web site, etc. We believe that such a membership provides the highest level of freedom of thinking, and encourages the most productive and creative interactions. We encourage participation in the discussions, even if a member's background is not at a professional level in the subject discussed. We appreciate bringing up new topics in our discussions.

The membership in our group is free of charge, but we appreciate contributions from our members and sponsors.

Any visitor of this web site, member or non-member, must agree to the conditions set in the HBG cross-licensing Agreement.
