Description
Darwin's idea is an imperfect attempt to tackle the problem of origins. Written before significant advances in genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and other life sciences, it reflects the knowledge of its time. Over the past 150 years, biology has experienced a period of rapid progress and revelation. The last two decades of genetic research have challenged long-held assumptions about evolution and its forces. Javier Sampedro presents a synthesis of classical evolution theories and their mechanisms in light of recent biological discoveries. This book provides a clear and concise overview of the evolutionary fact, its origin, mechanisms, and implications. Key figures and their ideas are presented, along with their findings and evaluations, all integrated into a coherent whole.
