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 centuryGroup selection (Evolution)History576.8/2Borrello Mark E1626525MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809006203321Evolutionary restraints3962613UNINA
