Description
Evolution is often seen as a slow and steady process, but John N. Thompson challenges this view in Relentless Evolution.
The author explores why adaptive evolution never ceases and how natural selection acts on species in many different ways, presenting a dynamic picture of life where ongoing evolution is essential and inevitable.
Thompson examines the major problems in adaptive evolution, from the speed of evolution to the co-opting of genomes, shedding light on the continual and sometimes frenetic process that favors more evolutionary change.
