Synopsis
Explore the forces behind life’s changes from the ground up.
This classic examination of evolution clarifies how heredity, variation, and natural selection shape plants, animals, and even humans.
Headley argues against simple explanations of evolution and lays out a careful, readable map of how species adapt, diverge, and interact. The book blends theoretical insight with practical questions about the world we see, from the role of environment to the power of sexual selection and isolation.
- Clear explanations of key concepts like heredity, variation, and natural selection
- Discussion of Lamarckian ideas versus neo-Darwinian views, with careful analysis
- Chapter‑length explorations of topics such as sexual selection, isolation, and the evolution of humans
- Illustrations and a structured approach that guides readers through complex debates
Ideal for readers curious about the science of evolution and its practical implications for biology, human history, and civilization.
