The Topology of Evolutionary Biology

Central notions in evolutionary biology are intrinsically topological.
This claim is maybe most obvious for the discontinuities associated with punctuated
equilibria. Recently, a mathematical framework has been developed that derives the
concepts of phenotypic characters and homology from the topological structure of
the phenotype space. This structure in turn is determined by the genetic operators
and their interplay with the properties of the genotype-phenotype map.
