Revisiting the Origin of Species

The Other Darwins

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Revisiting the 'Origin of Species' focuses on Darwin as theorizing on the origin of variations; showing that Darwin himself was never a pan-selectionist (in contrast to some of his followers) but was concerned with "other means of modification" (which makes him an evolutionary pluralist).
