Abstract

From biohermeneutic point of view the evolution of organisms, interactions between organisms, and their relationships to environment is understood as "evolution of interpretations". I use simple conceptual framework of perception, semiotic co-option, and modification to explain the evolution of semantic organs, i.e. organs that operate through the meaning that was given to them by an animal interpreter.
