Description and Table of Contents
Description
Galatea, or the Future of Darwinism
W Russell Brain
Originally published in 1927
"A brilliant exposition...of the evolutionary hypothesis." The Guardian
"Should prove invaluable..." Literary Guide
This non-technical but closely-reasoned book is a challenge to the orthodox teaching on evolution known as Neo-Darwinism. The author claims that although Neo-Darwinian theories can possibly account for the evolution of forms, they are quite inadequate to explain the evolution of functions.
