Remy Chauvin (1913–2009) at Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines, Haut-Rhin, was a biologist and entomologist, and a French Honorary Professor Emeritus at the Sorbonne, PhD, senior research fellow since 1946. Chauvin was also known for defending the rights of animals and for being interested in such topics as parapsychology, life after death, psychics, clairvoyance and the phenomenon of UFOs.〔Lewis Spence, Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology, 1920, p. 159〕 He sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Pierre Duval. == Evolution == Chauvin, continuing a tradition defended by French scientists Pierre-Paul Grassé and Jean Piveteau, was very critical of Darwinism and sociobiology as a specialist in animal behavior. He developed his own evolutionary theory which was mainly developed in three books (God ants, God of the stars: The Biology of the Spirit; Darwinism or the death of a myth)〔("Summary of Chauvin's evolutionary views" )〕 Chauvin's view of evolution can be seen as directed, goal driven and non-random, he has been described as a non-darwinian evolutionist,〔http://www.metanexus.net/conference2005/pdf/staune.pdf〕 a summary of his evolutionary views: * Neo-Darwinism is a set of tautologies (e.g. natural selection predicts the survival of the fittest. But what is the fittest? Whoever survives!). * Life is characterized by an immense adaptability to extensive changes in environments. * The narrowness of the adaptation is death (e.g. panda, eating only bamboo, was sentenced to death or long term). * Alongside a complicated device, you can often find one nearby that is simpler and apparently works as well. * Evolution looks at goal and not the means that may be very different (e.g. the wing and the flight). * The environment is selective in only a very small number of cases. * Evolution is directed. It is an internal program that runs and does not return. The goal seems to be the highest possible psyche. Similar to the parapsychologist Helmut Schmidt Chauvin developed some of his views from some of his experiments in Anpsi (animal psi), he did experiments with rats and his results were 58% over the chance level, there was no obvious explanation for the animal's behavior and he concluded that the rats are most likely to have used Extrasensory perception.〔Shivesh C Thakur, Philosophy and Psychical Research, Volume 15, 2004 pp. 167 – 168〕 Chauvin has been the subject of much criticism from others because it would appeal his views of evolution, have a vitalist leaning. He was also accused by his critics to strengthen creationism, although Chauvin was not a creationist. Chauvin wrote a number of books on parapsychology〔John Beloff, Parapsychology: A Concise History, 1997 p. 155〕 similar to the authors Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Remy Chauvin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
