Exploring Darwin’s ideas through crustaceans, this work translates key arguments into the living history of evolution. The author aims to show how the Darwinian view of species change can be tested and illustrated using crustaceans, from classic groups like Amphipoda to the parasitic Rhizocephala. It emphasizes a careful, literal presentation of evidence to illuminate how evolutionary ideas fit with real life.
The volume frames a method for tracing evolutionary connections within crustaceans, focusing on their development, life cycles, and structural changes across generations. It argues that careful study of growth, reproduction, and parasitism can strengthen our understanding of how species diverge and adapt over time.
Ideal for readers curious about Darwinian theory, the history of evolution, and how real-world organisms inform scientific debate.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author, a naturalist, studies the theories of Charles Darwin by applying them to a specific group of animals, the Crustacea. The author was intrigued by Darwin's theory of the origin of species and found that many crustacean characteristics supported its validity. Observing that the structure of land crabs varied greatly from their water-dwelling counterparts, the author saw this as evidence for Darwin's theory because these adaptations could only have developed over long periods of time under different conditions, supporting Darwin's theory that species change in response to their environment. This work is of great importance to the history of evolutionary biology, as it provided concrete evidence to support Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution.
