Sommario/riassunto |
|
Presenting a history of microbial evolutionary biology from the 19th century to the present, this book follows the research of molecular evolutionists who explore the origins of the genetic system & primary life forms: three domains & multiple kingdoms, created by mechanisms very unlike those considered by Darwin & his followers. |
