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.

- 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
