Synopsis

One of the world's foremost evolutionary theorists presents a fascinating overview of the arguments supporting the two main opposing theories of evolution that have developed since Darwin--one from the geneticists and the other from the paleontologists. Eldredge offers an insider's perspective of the disputes between the most famous names in the field. He explains who the key players are, why they disagree and gives a spirited defense of his side of the debate. Features all important new advances in evolutionary theory during the past two decades.
