Degeneration: A Chapter in Darwinism
E. Ray Lankester
48 pages~58 min read8 chapters$1.99
Evolution does not only build upward: sometimes it strips organisms down. Lankester's sharp little study argues that degeneration, the loss of complexity, is as real a force as progress in the history of life. Provocative and concise. Rethink what it means for a species to advance, and to fall back.
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.
