Synopsis
Challenging the old idea of evolution with fresh evidence This edition reexamines the evidence behind the theory, drawing on four key fields to clarify how organic change has occurred over time.
The book surveys how scientists compare the anatomy of different organisms, what embryology reveals about development, what fossils show about long histories, and how genetics and heredity shape inheritance. It presents a careful, nontechnical account of why scientists question simple answers and seek specific mechanisms behind evolution.
- How shared body plans across vertebrates point to common origins
- What changes in embryos and fossils tell us about past life
- How genetic factors and chromosome behavior relate to inheritance
- How natural selection is interpreted in shaping evolution, not as a mystery but as a testable process
Ideal for readers of science history and biology who want a clear, evidence-based look at evolution and its causes.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Occasionally one hears today the statement that we have come to realize that we know nothing about evolution. This point of view is a healthy reaction to the over-confident belief that we knew everything about evolution. But there are those rash enough to think that in the last few years we have learned more about evolution than we might have hoped to know a few years ago. A critique therefore not only becomes a criticism of the older evidence but an appreciation of the new evidence. In the first lecture an attempt is made to put a new valuation on the traditional evidence for evolution.
