The Doctrine of Evolution: Its Basis and Its Scope (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the prevailing scientific idea that all plant and animal life has evolved naturally to adapt to the conditions of their environment. The author starts from the basis that life is essentially mechanical and comprises three unique properties: peculiar chemical composition, power to repair itself, and capability for growth and reproduction. Through detailed examples of locomotive and steamship evolution, the author demonstrates that organisms are mechanical devices not exempt from natural laws, and their adaptation traits result from natural forces acting on their intrinsic mechanical designs over a long time. The author presents a systematic scheme of five categories â" classification, comparative anatomy, comparative development, paleontology, and geographical distribution â" as the pillars of scientific evidence that support the evolution theory. For the author, evolution is more than an organic process; its mechanism and the principles deduced from its study have much broader relevance for understanding and interpreting the world and our place in it. 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 # 9781451007978_0
