The Making of Species
Douglas Dewar and Frank Finn
How does one species become two? Douglas Dewar traces the rise of natural selection and its later development, weighing Darwin against his critics and the neo-Lamarckians. Sharp, argumentative, and unafraid of the hard questions. A lively survey of evolutionary theory in ferment. For readers who want the debate as well as the doctrine. Enter the great argument over the making of species.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
