Inhaltsangabe
Explore how evolution and inheritance shape every living form, from cells to species, through clear, evidence‑driven ideas.
This edition presents a rigorous look at how organisms are linked in a grand, ongoing series. It discusses how evolution might be understood as a process guided by the body’s inherent structure and by the effects of external conditions, rather than by chance alone. The writing contrasts different scientific views and uses concrete examples to illustrate how traits can rise, persist, or fade over generations.
- Clear explanations of how individual forms relate to the larger whole of nature.
- Examples from anatomy and physiology that show how external stimuli influence form over time.
- Discussion of the limits of natural selection and the role of development in evolution.
- Connections to broader debates about heredity, degeneration, and the direction of evolutionary change.
Ideal for readers seeking a historical, theory‑driven look at evolutionary ideas and their practical implications for understanding life’s diversity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the author's challenge to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by presenting an alternative theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. Darwin's theory postulated that evolution was a completely random process, but the author argues that there must be some consistent force at play. The author lays out evidence that suggests that the adaptations that animals develop to help them survive are driven not by random chance, but by inherent factors in the species themselves. The author follows on from the work of previous scientists like Lamarck, who proposed that acquired characteristics can be inherited, and Weismann, who argued against that idea. Ultimately, this book provides a crucial counterpoint to the ideas Darwin put forward as the basis of modern evolutionary biology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
