Unlike most of the recent Anglo-centric literature that tends to focus almost exclusively on Darwin and natural selection, it follows the work of naturalists of many nationalities who used paleontology, comparative anatomy, and embryology in order to establish a linear continuity of evolving life though the long span of geological time. Thorough historical survey of the development of the concept of evolution before the publication of Darwin’s 'The Origin of Species'. Providing an alternative view of the recent literature and journal articles commemorating Darwin’s 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of publication of 'The Origin of Species'. Richly annotated with up to date information and explanations of the changing concepts and terminology as well as featuring an extensive Glossary and Biographical index.Life sciencesHistoryEvolutionary biologyPaleontology ZoologyLife Sciences, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L00004History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Evolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Paleontologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000Zoologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25007Life sciences.History.Evolutionary biology.Paleontology .Zoology.Life Sciences, general.History of Science.Evolutionary Biology.Paleontology.Zoology.590.9McBirney Alexauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1509672Cook Stantonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910777920103321The Philosophy of Zoology Before Darwin3741752UNINA03289oam 2200769Mn 450 991095911430332120251130110412.01-317-86780-71-317-86779-31-315-83541-X1-281-34726-497866113472601-4058-9868-210.4324/9781315835419 (CKB)1000000000553673(EBL)1353490(OCoLC)870590039(SSID)ssj0000310206(PQKBManifestationID)12105762(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000310206(PQKBWorkID)10287299(PQKB)11448861(OCoLC)859159146(MiAaPQ)EBC1353490(MiAaPQ)EBC5268512(Au-PeEL)EBL1353490(CaPaEBR)ebr10747585(CaONFJC)MIL761984(Au-PeEL)EBL5268512(CaONFJC)MIL134726(OCoLC)1024269143(OCoLC)1050608495(OCoLC-P)1050608495(FlBoTFG)9781315835419(FINmELB)ELB138247(NyNyDIG)DIGVIETO133(EXLCZ)99100000000055367320180907d2015 uy 0engur|n|||||||||txtccrSTALIN1st ed.[Place of publication not identified] TAYLOR & FRANCIS20151 online resource (246 p.)Profiles in PowerFirst published 2005 by Pearson Education.1-138-13158-X 0-582-78479-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover ; Half Title ; Title Page ; Copyright Page ; Table of Contents ; Preface; Chronology; 1.
