英英释义

Orthogenesis, orthogenetic evolution, progressive evolution or autogenesis, is the hypothesis that life has an innate tendency to evolve in a unilinear fashion due to some internal or external \"driving force\". The hypothesis is based on essentialism and cosmic teleology and proposes an intrinsic drive which slowly transforms species.
