First printing thus. Lev Berg's Nomogenesis presents a rigorous, contrarian challenge to Darwinian theories of evolution, proposing that biological change follows internal, law-bound pathways rather than being shaped by random variation and natural selection.

Bridging typological biology and structuralist thought, Nomogenesis occupies a unique third position in the history of evolutionary theory.
