Inhaltsangabe
Evolution and genetics, clarified: this book argues for an integrated view of how genes shape life over time. It surveys how genetics has become a disciplined science, moving beyond single-cause theories to connect facts from zoology, botany, and breeding. The author compares Darwin’s broad perspective with later ideas about variation, selection, and mutation, showing why a single mechanism cannot explain evolution.
1) A clear, evidence-based discussion of how genetics developed as a field.
2) Explanations of how different scientists framed variation, inheritance, and evolution.
3) Examples of sex-linked and multi-gene traits that illuminate complex inheritance.
4) A look at how local and residual populations influence species over time.
- Learn how genetics moved from isolated ideas to a cohesive, inductive science.
- See why researchers now emphasize correlating facts across disciplines.
- Understand the limits of one-cause theories and the value of multiple processes.
- Explore real-world examples that illustrate how genes affect traits and evolution.
Ideal for readers curious about the history and practice of genetics in evolution, and for those seeking a practical, non-technical overview of how inheritance shapes species.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the intricate relationship between heredity, variation, and evolution. The author explores the evolution of scientific thought on this subject, from the theories of Lamarck and Darwin through to the later discoveries of Mendel and Johannsen. The book takes a unique approach, challenging the dominant theories of the day and emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of inheritance and the influence of environment on evolution. Through a combination of historical analysis and a thorough consideration of experimental evidence, the author presents a groundbreaking perspective on the complex interplay of factors that drive the development of new species. The book offers a compelling case for a more nuanced understanding of evolution, one that moves beyond simplistic explanations and embraces the intricate nature of genetic processes.
