Excerpt from The Growth of Groups in the Animal Kingdom: With Two Coloured Plates
I must also express my warmest thanks to Captain G. I. Davys, i.m.s and to many other friends, for the most part my fellow-workers in the Indian Medical Service, for much help and hospitality during the progress of the investigations which form the chief subject of the book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book delves into the intriguing question of how animal groups emerge and evolve. Drawing on a wealth of evidence from zoology, the author presents a compelling case for the importance of sudden, significant variations, often known as mutations, in the origin of new species. Challenging traditional views that emphasized gradual change, this book argues that mutations can lead to the formation of distinct groups without the need for continuous selection. The author analyzes the concept of "species" itself, highlighting its limitations and the challenges it poses for our understanding of evolution. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the factors that contribute to the formation of species, including the role of genetic isolation, reproductive barriers, and geographical distribution. The author also explores the complex relationship between species and their environment, emphasizing the dynamic nature of their interactions over time. With its fresh perspective and rigorous scientific approach, this book offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on the origin of species. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and challenges readers to rethink the fundamental principles of evolutionary biology.
