On Orthogenesis (Classic Reprint): And the Impotence of Natural Selection in Species Formation - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore a bold alternative to Darwin’s ideas and learn how evolution can proceed by definite direction rather than chance.
This book presents orthogenesis as a guiding force in evolution, arguing that natural selection alone cannot explain how species originate or change. It outlines a set of laws the author says govern evolution and shows how these principles apply to living creatures, including butterflies.
In addition to theory, the work discusses how species form and how similar traits can emerge through development, not just selection. It challenges widely held views and offers a different lens for understanding the diversity of life.
- Understand the claims for definite, directed evolution and the role of organic growth.
- See how the author connects laws of transformation to real-world examples in butterflies.
- Learn why the author argues that selection is not the primary engine of transmutation.
- Explore how mimicry and species formation might arise from developmental tendencies.
Ideal for readers curious about alternative theories in evolutionary biology and the history of scientific debate.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book dives into a vibrant exploration of the forces that govern evolution in the natural world. Focusing on the concept of orthogenesis - the idea that evolution unfolds in predetermined directions - the author challenges the prevailing notion of random variation as the driving force behind change. Through a meticulous examination of animal markings and other characteristics, the author demonstrates the existence of consistent patterns in evolutionary development, overturning the dominant theory of natural selection as the sole arbiter of species transformation. Undermining long-held assumptions, this groundbreaking work sheds new light on the mechanisms that sculpt the diversity of life on Earth. It challenges readers to rethink their understanding of evolution and offers compelling evidence for the existence of an inherent order in the unfolding of life's myriad forms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
