A first book in organic evolution
Daniel Kerfoot Shute
Start with a single cell and follow it to the theory that reorganized biology. Daniel Shute builds organic evolution from the ground up: cells dividing by mitosis, heredity carrying variation, environment shaping the outcome. A clear first course for readers meeting the subject head-on. The building blocks of life, assembled one lesson at a time.
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.
