Evolutionary Biology

Conceptual, Ethical, and Religious Issues

Edición de R. Paul Thompson, Denis Walsh ...

Evolution - both the fact that it occurred and the theory describing the mechanisms by which it occurred - is an intrinsic and central component in modern biology. Theodosius Dobzhansky captures this well in the much-quoted title of his 1973 paper 'Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution'. The correctness of this assertion is even more obvious today: philosophers of biology ... Leer más
