Synopsis
Evolution and genetics, clarified: this book argues for an integrated view of how genes shape life over time.
It surveys how genetics has become a disciplined science, moving beyond single-cause theories to connect facts from zoology, botany, and breeding. The author compares Darwin’s broad perspective with later ideas about variation, selection, and mutation, showing why a single mechanism cannot explain evolution.
1) A clear, evidence-based discussion of how genetics developed as a field.2) Explanations of how different scientists framed variation, inheritance, and evolution.
3) Examples of sex-linked and multi-gene traits that illuminate complex inheritance.
4) A look at how local and residual populations influence species over time.
- Learn how genetics moved from isolated ideas to a cohesive, inductive science.
- See why researchers now emphasize correlating facts across disciplines.
- Understand the limits of one-cause theories and the value of multiple processes.
- Explore real-world examples that illustrate how genes affect traits and evolution.
