Excerpt from L'Adaptation Et l'Évolution
De cette absence de rigueur dans l'examen et l interpréta tion des faits découlent les interminables discussions auxquelles donne lieu la question de l'adaptation. Cette ques tion n'est pas plus troublante qu'une autre; elle n'est pas plus mystérieuse que l'une quelconque de celles qui se posent constamment aux biologistes. Elle est, simplement, mal posée: au point de départ, une idée préconçue vicie l'examen des faits.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes adaptation, a key concept in evolutionary biology, from the 18th century to the present day. The author shows how the debate over adaptation has shaped our understanding of evolution, from the early ideas of Lamarck and Darwin to the more recent theories of molecular biology. The book also explores the philosophical implications of adaptation, asking questions about the nature of life, the meaning of purpose, and the role of chance in evolution. The author argues that adaptation is not simply a passive response to environmental pressures, but rather an active and creative process that drives evolution forward.
