Notably, Mayr explains that Darwin's theory of evolution is actually five separate theories, each with its own history, trajectory and impact. Natural selection is a separate idea from common descent, and from geographic speciation, and so on. A number of the perennial Darwinian controversies may well have been caused by the confounding of the five separate theories into a single composite. Those interested in evolutionary theory, or the philosophy and history of science will find useful ideas in this book, which should appeal to virtually anyone with a broad curiosity about biology.BiologyPhilosophyEvolution (Biology)PhilosophyBiologyPhilosophy.Evolution (Biology)Philosophy.570/.1Mayr Ernst1904-2005,64724UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457614303321What makes biology unique?1106751UNINA01026nam 2200265la 450 991048261380332120221108053459.0(UK-CbPIL)2090364528(CKB)5500000000093036(EXLCZ)99550000000009303620210618d1579 uy |laturcn||||a|bb|Fasciculus remediorum ex Dioscoride et Mathiolo omnibus humani corporis affectibus methodice accommodatorum[electronic resource]Basel Peter Perna1579Online resource ([24] l.
