Target entity: Cycles of Contingency: Developmental Systems and Evolution
Context triple: [Susan Oyama, mainWork, Cycles of Contingency: Developmental Systems and Evolution]

• A. Ontogeny and Phylogeny
  Ontogeny and Phylogeny is a landmark 1977 book by Stephen Jay Gould that explores the relationship between individual development and evolutionary history, reshaping modern views on evolutionary theory and developmental biology.
• B. The Structure of Evolutionary Theory
  The Structure of Evolutionary Theory is a comprehensive 2002 book by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould that synthesizes and expands modern evolutionary theory, emphasizing concepts such as punctuated equilibrium and hierarchical selection.
• C. Searching for Order in the Complexity of Evolving Worlds
  "Searching for Order in the Complexity of Evolving Worlds" is the guiding motto of the Santa Fe Institute, reflecting its focus on understanding complex adaptive systems across disciplines.
• D. The Origins of Order: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution
  The Origins of Order: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution is a landmark book by Stuart Kauffman that explores how self-organization and complex systems theory contribute to the emergence of biological order alongside natural selection.
• E. The Major Transitions in Evolution
  The Major Transitions in Evolution is an influential 1995 book by John Maynard Smith and Eörs Szathmáry that analyzes how key evolutionary shifts—such as the origins of chromosomes, sex, multicellularity, and social groups—transformed the organization of life.

Target entity: Cycles of Contingency: Developmental Systems and Evolution
Target entity description: Cycles of Contingency: Developmental Systems and Evolution is an influential edited volume that advances developmental systems theory by challenging gene-centered views of evolution and emphasizing the complex, reciprocal interactions shaping organismal development.
