The relative sizes of parts of an organism frequently depend on the absolute size of the individual, a relationship that is generally described by power laws. I show here that these power laws are a consequence of the way evolution operates.
生物体各部分的相对大小通常取决于个体的绝对大小,这种关系一般由幂律来描述。我在此表明,这些幂律是进化运作方式的结果。
