Description
Summarizes the long history of the essential role of cells in evolutionary change.
Demonstrates that cellular processes transform genetic change into phenotypic change in development and in evolution.
Documents the evidence that cells provide the missing mechanistic link between the genotype and the phenotype in evolutionary theory.
Illustrates the necessity of integrating cell biology into evolutionary theory.
Table of Contents
The role and autonomy of cells in phylogeny and evolution circa 1840-1865. Germ plasm theory and cells in evolutionary biology. The discovery of genes and the rise of genetics from 1900 in usurped cells in evolutionary biology. The study of cells, embryos and evolution through identification of cell lineages. Experimental embryology, nuclear or cytoplasmic control of development. Cytoplasmic inheritance in protozoans and divergent evolution of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Structural (TEM) analyses of cells: evolution of cells, organelles and cell number. Recognition of the Archaea, different relationships and kingdoms of life. Cellular condensations, modularity and evolution of the phenotype.
