Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive guide focuses on the factors influencing evolution through the perspectives of racial and habitudinal segregation. The author examines the perceived inadequacy of natural and sexual selection as primary drivers of evolutionary divergence, particularly in cases involv…ing non-utilitarian characteristics and divergence under similar environmental conditions. This work delves into the complex and multifaceted nature of evolution, offering an in-depth exploration of the mechanisms that shape the diversity of life forms and the implications of these processes for our understanding 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.

"After his retirement Gulick wrote out a larger statement of his evolutionary ideas, Evolution, Racial and Habitudinal (1905) [offered here]. This work incorporated his efforts to apply the mathematical theory of probability to his evolutionary problems and introduced principles for understanding the development of human civilization analogous to, but distinct from, those applicable to biological evolution. Born in the year of Cuvier s death [1832], Gulick lived to see--and applaud--the introduction of Mendelism in biology. His career spanned and exemplified first the age of the naturalist explorers, then the period of ambitious and often contentious evolutionary theorizing that marked the decades around 1900. Viewed as a revisionist by some Darwinians, Gulick nevertheless remained loyal to Darwinian natural selection in the face of challenges from de Vries's mutation theory and other quarters after 1900. His emphasis on isolation as a necessary complement to selection helped open the way for studies that formed part of the synthetic theory of evolution" (John E. Lesch, in Dictionary of Scientific Biography, vol. 17: 372-373).
