Selection: The Mechanism of Evolution Hardcover - 1996 - 1997th Edition
by Graham Bell
First line
The main purpose of evolutionary biology is to provide a rational explanation for the extraordinarily complex and intricate organization of living things.
From the rear cover
The history and diversity of life on earth are testimony to evolutionary processes that extend back to the dawn of time. The agent of change and diversification is natural selection acting over long periods of time. We might, however, ask how a process so simple can give rise to the intricate and complex organization of living things, and might wonder how a process so long-drawn-out can be studied at all. These questions can be answered by recognizing that selection is a distinctive kind of process whose apparent simplicity can lead to very surprising outcomes. For the first time, this book brings together the work of laboratories throughout the world, showing how experimental evolution provides a solid foundation for our understanding of the living world. Selection: The Mechanism of Evolution offers both organismal and molecular biologists and professionals in a wide range of biological disciplines an exciting single-source reference that provides extensive documentation of the experimental basis of our understanding of selection. This book is also an important reference for university professors and graduate students doing research in evolution, evolutionary and ecological genetics, biology, zoology, botany and genetics.
