The Death of Wynne-Edwards and the Life of an Idea --Notes --Bibliography --IndexMuch of the evolutionary debate since Darwin has focused on the level at which natural selection occurs. Most biologists acknowledge multiple levels of selection-from the gene to the species. The debate about group selection, however, is the focus of Mark E. Borrello's Evolutionary Restraints. Tracing the history of biological attempts to determine whether selection leads to the evolution of fitter groups, Borrello takes as his focus the British naturalist V. C. Wynne-Edwards, who proposed that animals could regulate their own populations and thusGroup selection (Evolution)History20th centuryevolution, natural selection, history, science, darwin, heredity, population, gene, species, survival of the fittest, vc wynne edwards, evolutionary biology, ernst mayr, gc williams, richard dawkins, environment, resources, social behavior, regulation, insects, dispersion, superorganisms, mutual aid, ecology, zoology, overpopulation, scarcity, abundance, nonfiction, reference.Group selection (Evolution)History576.8/2Borrello Mark E1563690MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785361003321Evolutionary restraints3832268UNINA
