The results of Evolutionary Developmental Biology presuppose a second theory of evolution. A theory that, being complementary, and not contrary or alternative, to the Theory of Natural Selection, cannot be considered its mere subaltern or its auxiliary. That theory, however, is not easily individualized. It is disseminated, and tacitly assumed, in the conceptual developments and in the empirical results of Evo-Devo. But if one identifies what Stephen Toulmin would characterize as the ideal of natural order to which these developments and results respond, the outlines and nature of that theory begin to become a little sharper.
