内容説明

The study of evolutionary adaptation returns to the centre stage of biology with this volume. This treatsie discusses new developments in adaption, with new methods, and new theoretical foundations, achievements and prospects for a rich future. Adaption is established as a fundamental corner-stone of evloution by means of natural selection. This text is a reintroduction to the themes that Darwin and his successors regarded as central to any profound understanding of biology.

内容説明

The study of evolutionary adaptation returns to the center stage of biology with this important volume. This innovative treatise discusses new developments in adaptation, with new methods, and new theoretical foundations, achievements, and prospects for a rich intellectual future. Once again adaptation is established as a fundamental cornerstone of evolution by means of natural selection. This is an insightful reintroduction to the themes that Darwin and his successors regarded as central to any profound understanding of biology.
