When sporadic Clan incursions into Inner Sphere territory supply mercenaries with more work than they can handle, Khan Phelan Ward and Prince Victor Davion--cousins, rulers, and enemies--must decide what to do. Original.
Then the real hunt begins. . . . Loaded with astonishing action sequences, Natural Selection is that rare breed of thriller, filled with intricately layered research, real three-dimensional characters, and tornado pacing.
Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is unquestionably one of the chief landmarks in biology.
The book presents a new way of understanding Darwinism and evolution by natural selection, combining work in biology, philosophy, and other fields.
When Adaptation and Natural Selection was first published in 1966, it struck a powerful blow against those who argued for the concept of group selection—the idea that evolution acts to select entire species rather than individuals.

States the evidence for a theory of evolution, explains how evolution takes place, and discusses instinct, hybridism, fossils, distribution, and classification.
This much is fairly trivial and makes sense of C.S. Peirce's disparaging remarks that Darwin's theory is just the application of the law of large numbers to biology (Peirce, 1877, 7): The Darwinian controversy is, in large part, ...
This book summarizes the knowledge in the field of methods to identify signatures of natural selection. A number of mathematical models and methods have been designed to identify the fingerprints of natural selection on genes and genomes.
