Synopsis
Excerpt from The Meaning of Organic Evolution
We cannot let go of the past nor the past of us. We are out of 'the past and must live upon foundations there laid. The problem of intelligent growth and progress in life is, with ripening time, to replace what is outgrown and noxious in these foundations with the strong elements of the new in such a way as to keep intact the framework of the high ideas and ideals won and proved in the past struggles of the race and coming to us as a priceless heritage. Our problem is one of assimilation, not one of destruction.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the evolution of the Evolution theory from its ancient roots to its present place as the lodestar of the natural sciences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, debate raged between proponents of sudden, divinely ordained Creation of fixed species and those who saw species as malleable entities shaped by gradual, cumulative change over vast time scales. This book examines how the ideas of Lamarck, Darwin, Wallace, and many others were refined over centuries of research and experimentation, leading to the modern understanding that all living organisms share a common ancestor. It outlines the core principles of Evolution - descent with modification, common ancestry, and natural selection - and shows how these principles provide a powerful conceptual framework not just for biology but for all of science. This book shows how Evolution, far from diminishing the wonder of life, has vastly enriched our understanding and deepened our awe of the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330079621_0
