9781332788644: The Genetic and the Operative Evidence Relating to Secondary Sexual Characters

Synopsis

This book presents an exploration of the historical tension between the concept of natural selection and other theories that attempt to account for the development of secondary sexual traits across a range of species, including humans. The author examines Darwin's theory of sexual selection, as well as ideas such as the Lamarckian theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, and exposes a wide range of compelling evidence that challenges traditional Darwinian explanations. Drawing on extensive research in genetics, the author provides a comprehensive overview of the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors in the development of sexually distinctive characteristics. This insightful book provides a fresh perspective on a classic scientific debate, with important implications for our understanding of evolution.
