About this title

Synopsis

An examination of the Darwinian tradition in evolutionary biology, arguing that recent advances in modeling the nonlinear dynamics of complex systems may catalyze the next major phase of Darwinian evolutionism. Drawing on recent scholarship in the history of biology, the authors bring the dynamical perspective to bear on a number of important episodes in the history of the Darwinian research tradition: Darwin's "Newtonian" Darwinism, the rise of "developmentalist" evolutionary theories and the eclipse of Darwinism at the turn of the century, Darwinism's struggles to incorporate genetics, its eventual regeneration in the modern evolutionary synthesis, challenges posed to that synthesis by molecular genetics, and recent proposals for meeting those challenges. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
