"Dobzhansky explained how three levels could describe the processes of evolutionary population genetics: (1) the origin of raw materials by mutations of genes and chromosomes, (2) the changes in populations by changes in frequencies and combinations of mutations, (3) the fixation of changes by reproductive isolation." Wikipedia "Theodosius Grygorovych Dobzhansky (Ukrainian: Теодо́сій Григо́рович Добжа́нськ&#1080 ;й; Russian: Феодо́сий Григо́рьевич Добржа́нск&#108 0;й) , Ph.D. (University of Leningrad, 1927; B.S., Biology, University of Kiev, 1921), was a prominent geneticist and evolutionary biologist, one of the central figures in modern evolutionary synthesis; his major work concerning the latter is "Genetics and the Origin of Species"", published in 1937. He emigrated to the USA in 1927 on a scholarship from the Rockefeller Foundation. Dobzhansky was the recipient of the National Medal of Science in 1964 and the Franklin Medal in 1973." Good Reads.

Paperback. Condition: New. Columbia Classics edition. In this volume, the product of decades of study and research, the world's foremost geneticist surveys the major developments in what is emerging as the most important single area of scientific inquiry in the twentieth century: biological theory of evolution in particular. Noting that the theory of evolution in biology is more than a century old, Dr. Dobzhansky points out that it is nevertheless only in recent times that our knowledge of its physical basis as well as our understanding of its dynamics has progressed greatly. Yet, he notes, new problems have replaced the older ones at the forefront of scientific inquiry, problems which require entirely new approaches. It is to these manifold and exciting new questions that the author brings a lifetime of experience. Throughout, his goal is to create not a summary of all the available literature, nor a professional book written only for the scientific community, but rather a presentation of basic ideas, accompanied by the indispensable references which would enable interested readers to pursue the matter further.The book has been purposely kept short to enable it to be read as a whole, and above all, it has been written in a manner which will hold the attention as well as inform both the general reader and the professionally concerned scientist.

Hardcover. 8vo., 505 pp. Important evolution title. Dobzhansky played an important role in shaping evolutionary thought in the 20th century. Widely hailed as the father of evolutionary genetics, Dobzhansky was a co-founder of the modern synthesis--integrating evolution with genetics, reconciling the difference between Darwin's theory of evolution and Gregor Mendel's thoughts on heredity.

Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Signed. First edition, first printing. A fantastic association copy linking two titans of evolutionary biology, inscribed by Theodosius Dobzhansky "To Stephen Jay Gould with compliments and reminiscences of the conference of the American Academy May 24, 1974." Fine, in a Near Fine dust jacket with fading to spine and faint edge wear.Both Dobzhansky and Gould played an important role in shaping evolutionary thought in the 20th century. Widely hailed as the father of evolutionary genetics, Dobzhansky was a co-founder of the modern synthesis--integrating evolution with genetics, reconciling the difference between Darwin's theory of evolution and Gregor Mendel's thoughts on heredity. And in the generation following, Gould was one of the most influential and widely read figures. Gould's major contribution to the field was his theory of punctuated equilibrium, which postulates that evolution is characterized by long periods of stability, infrequently punctuated by rapid periods of branching speciation. Or, evolution by jerks.Dobzhansky inscribed this book to Gould at the Workshop of Evolutionary Synthesis, held in Boston in May of 1974. In Gould's book on macroevolution and the historical development of evolutionary theory, The Structure of Evolutionary Theory, he recalls the event, "The Conference--an amazing experience for a young evolutionist at the beginning of a career--included every major living participant in the Synthesis except Bernard Rensch, who was ill; G. G. Simpson, who was angry; and Sewall Wright, whom [Ernst] Mayr simply would not invite, despite pleas from yours truly and several others. I don't think I ever experienced a greater moment of pure 'academic awe' than my first impression, when I looked across from 'our' side of the table (where Mayr had placed the 'young' historians and evolutionists) and saw Dobzhansky, Mayr, Stebbins, Ford and Darlington all together on the other side."A superb association copy between two leading lights, and in a sense, passing the mantle of evolutionary biology from one generation to the next. Inscribed by Dobzhansky the year before his death to a young Stephen Jay Gould, who at the time was just embarking on his career.
