The Discovery of Evolution(I***N=9780521687461) mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

The Discovery of Evolution explains what the theory of evolution

is all about by providing a historical narrative of discovery. Some

of the major puzzles that confront anyone studying living things

are discussed and it details how these were solved from an

evolutionary perspective. Beginning with the emergence of the early

naturalists in the seventeenth century, the scientific discoveries

that led up to and then flowed from Darwin and Wallace's theory of

evolution by natural selection are then discussed, and finally the

modern evolutionary studies at the close of the twentieth century

are detailed. This new edition of The Discovery of Evolution is

fully updated and contains a new chapter on the evolutionary

studies of the twentieth century. By approaching the topic of

evolution in this way, it is made accessible to the non-specialist

and no previous study of biology is required in order to read and

understand this book.
