Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Spécialiste de l’histoire de la pensée biologique au xviiie siècle, c’est au transformisme et en particulier à l’œuvre de Darwin, à sa réception et à ses prolongements théoriques récents que l’historien Jacques Roger (1920-1990) se consacre du début des années 1970 jusqu’à son décès. Comment rendre compte de ce tournant vers l’histoire de la théorie de l’évolution et de la biologie du xxe siècle ? Selon l’hypothèse envisagée ici, ce sont les rencontres de Roger avec les historiens et les biologistes anglo-saxons, et notamment avec Ernst Mayr, qui ont façonné son intérêt envers l’histoire de la théorie de l’évolution, dont il refusait de séparer les dimensions scientifique et socioculturelle. Plus fondamentalement, comme le révèle un manuscrit inédit récemment retrouvé, si Roger s’intéressa à la théorie darwinienne de l’évolution, c’est aussi parce qu’elle soulève à nouveaux frais des enjeux importants liés à la question de « l’homme ».

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
