Development

This accurate and interesting book opens new doors to evolutionary biology, as Brian and Diboras are brilliantly showcasing some of the most prominent discoveries and concepts in this exciting field. The book deals with issues such as formation of species, pluralism, concept of adaptation, genetic mutations, and natural election. The book has followed the development of evolutionary thought since the emergence of Darwin and Wallas writings more than 140 years ago, and reaches the modern evidence provided by the studies of development at the molecular level. The book concludes by shedding light on how evolutionary ideas are able to highlight some of the most difficult challenges in modern biology, such as ambiguity behind the cause of aging and some organisms act with altruism.
