Description

New edition of a basic introduction to prevailing knowledge and ideas about how, why, and where the world and its organisms changed throughout history. Strickberger (Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, U. of California) presents topics including the philosophical and historical background of evolutionary thought; cosmological and geological evolution and its impact on life; the origins of life on Earth; the development of molecular pathways, from genetic systems to organismic morphology and function; the evolutionary history of organisms, from microbes to animals; and the numerous molecular and populational concepts which explain the living Earth's dynamic evolution. A new chapter covers prokaryotic and eukaryotic development, interactions, and constraints. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
