Synopsis
Excerpt from Evolution
Evolution in astronomy, from Kant to Lockyer; evolution in chemistry and physics, from Lucretius to the alchemists, and thence to Ramsay and his fellow-alchemists of to day; evolution in geology, from Leonardo and Palissy to Lyell and Darwin and onwards all these large retrospects of the history of science are needed for a grasp of cosmic evolution. Their impetus, their methods too, have once and again impelled the student of organic nature towards evolutionary inter pretations, and still do so; while the thought Of the physicist and Of the naturalist are in creasingly Oi interest and suggestion towards the distinctively human and social studies.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evidence for evolution, tracing its development from early explorers to modern science. The author examines geographical and fossil evidence, as well as anatomical and embryological comparisons, drawing on examples from various species. Ideas and theories from Darwin, Wallace, Lamarck, and others provide historical context. The book also discusses the concept of recapitulation, suggesting that individual development recapitulates evolutionary history. By examining the historical, comparative, and developmental evidence, the book ultimately argues for the theory of evolution as the most reasonable explanation for the diversity and adaptation of life on Earth. 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 # 9781330868294_0
