Description

Understanding Evo-Devo by Wallace Arthur The evolution of complex structures in animals is often seen as a gradual process, with one species transforming into another over time. However, many examples of evolutionary change involve the alteration of one kind of animal into a very similar one, such as the development of a larger beak in a bird. This book explores how such origins can be explained within a Darwinian framework. The field of evo-devo has grown significantly in recent years, examining the relationship between embryonic development and long-term evolution. By expanding our understanding of this process, scientists have been able to shed new light on the origins of structures like beaks, eyes, and shells. This book discusses the current state of play regarding our understanding of evolutionary and developmental origins. Through a comprehensive analysis of the latest research in evo-devo, Understanding Evo-Devo provides a detailed explanation of how complex structures can arise during evolution.
