RESUMEN
Las diversas acepciones del concepto del riesgo, consideradas en el marco de condicionantes ambientales, genéticas y culturales presentan retos a los investigadores que pretenden aplicar la estimación de un evento como parte de los objetivos investigativos. A través de este ensayo se realizará una breve disertación sobre la noción de riesgo y probabilidad, incluyendo conceptos de estimación referenciados dentro de aspectos lógicos, científicos, investigativos, culturales y genéticos que permitan aplicar el concepto de incertidumbre y predicción a la comprensión de varios tipos de fenómenos, tales como los fenotipos complejos, fenotipos físicos o comportamientos culturales. Una vez se establezcan las bases conceptuales de riesgo y probabilidad, se integrarán elementos de herencia y ambiente que permiten desarrollar el concepto más allá de la noción numérica, de tal modo que los conceptos estadísticos junto con las connotaciones culturales del concepto de riesgo, develen la utilidad de la comprensión probabilística en relación al desarrollo evolutivo de la complejidad fenotípica.
ABSTRACT
The various meanings of the concept of risk, considered in the context of environmental, genetic and cultural conditions, present diverse challenges to researchers who seek to apply event estimation processes as a part of their research objectives. Through this essay, I’ll develop a brief exposition about the notion of risk and probability, including estimation concepts referenced within logical aspects, scientific methods, research techniques and cultural and genetic aspects; concepts necessary to implement the notion of prediction and uncertainty in the understanding of various types of phenomena, such as complex phenotypes and cultural or behavioral phenotypes. Once the conceptual basis of risk and probability is established, I will integrate heredity and environment elements allowing the development of the concept beyond the numerical notion, therefore the statistical concepts along with the cultural connotations of the concept of risk will unveil the usefulness of probabilistic understanding in relation to the evolutionary development of phenotypic complexity.
