Making Sense of Evolution: The Conceptual Foundations of Evolutionary Biology

Massimo Pigliucci, Jonathan Kaplan, quot;Making Sense of Evolution: The Conceptual Foundations of Evolutionary Biologyquot;
University Of Chicago Press | 2006 | ISBN: 0226668371, 0226668363 | 236 pages | File type: PDF | 1,4 mb
Making Sense of Evolution explores contemporary evolutionary biology, focusing on the elements of theories¡ªselection, adaptation, and species¡ªthat are complex and open to multiple possible interpretations, many of which are incompatible with one another and with other accepted practices in the discipline. Particular experimental methods, for example, may demand one understanding of selection, while the application of the same concept to another area of evolutionary biology could necessitate a very different definition.

Spotlighting these conceptual difficulties and presenting alternate theoretical interpretations that alleviate this incompatibility, Massimo Pigliucci and Jonathan Kaplan intertwine scientific and philosophical analysis to produce a coherent picture of evolutionary biology. Innovative and controversial, Making Sense of Evolution encourages further development of the Modern Synthesis and outlines what might be necessary for the continued refinement of this evolving field.
