Synopsis:

Excerpt from Methods and Causes of Evolution

Evolution is the branch of science concerned with the study of organic change. That species are subject to change is a fact as general and as fundamental in the organic world as gravitation is in the inorganic, and no less important in its relations to human progress. Our knowledge of evolution is far from complete, but it affords our only insight into many important problems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the mechanisms and causes of evolution, challenging the prevailing theory that natural selection is the driving force behind species development. The author argues that evolution is an inherent property of species and occurs through continuous changes in their characteristics. This process is facilitated by the presence of diversity within a species and the free interbreeding of its members. The book draws on evidence from classication and geographical distribution, as well as studies of adaptation and mimicry, to support the idea that evolution is a gradual process accomplished through the accumulation of small changes over countless generations. In contrast to the view that evolution is spurred by external pressures, the author proposes that it is an ongoing process driven by species' intrinsic capacities for change and adaptation.

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 # 9781330125939_0
