Synopsis

Evolution and Involution is a book written by George Thomson and originally published in 1880. The book explores the concept of evolution, the process by which living organisms change and adapt over time, and involution, the process by which organisms become more complex and specialized. Thomson argues that evolution and involution are interrelated processes that work together to shape the natural world.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on evolution and examines the evidence supporting the theory of evolution, including fossil records, comparative anatomy, and embryology. Thomson also discusses the role of natural selection in shaping the development of species and the concept of adaptation.The second part of the book focuses on involution and explores the idea that organisms become more complex and specialized over time. Thomson argues that involution is a natural process that occurs in all living organisms and that it is essential for the development of higher forms of life.Throughout the book, Thomson draws on examples from the natural world to illustrate his points and provide evidence for his arguments. He also discusses the implications of his ideas for philosophy, theology, and ethics.Overall, Evolution and Involution is a thought-provoking exploration of two interconnected processes that have shaped the natural world and continue to play a significant role in our understanding of life on Earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
