W/ characteristic attention to detail, Stephen Jay Gould first describes the content & discusses the history & origins of the three core commitments of classical Darwinism: (1) that natural selection works on organisms, not genes or species; (2) that it is almost exclusively the mechanism of adaptive evolutionary change; & (3) that these changes are incremental, not drastic. Next, he examines the three critiques that currently challenge this classic Darwinian edifice: (1) that selection operates on multiple levels, from the gene to the group; (2) that evolution proceeds by a variety of mechanisms, not just natural selection; & (3) that causes operating at broader scales, including catastrophes, have figured prominently in the course of evolution.Then, in a stunning tour de force that will likely stimulate discussion & debate for decades, Gould proposes his own system for integrating these classical commitments & contemporary critiques into a new structure of evolutionary thought. In 2001 the Library of Congress named Stephen Jay Gould one of America's 83 Living Legends--people who embody the "quintessentially American ideal of individual creativity, conviction, dedication, & exuberance." Each of these qualities finds full expression in this peerless work, the likes of which the scientific world has not seen--& may not see again--for well over a century. * SHIPPING: Mnemosyne wraps, labels and securely packages this magisterial work for shipment at NO CHARGE to all destinations within the United States via USPS MEDIA MAIL or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below cost $16.00 fee & to all international destinations via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL w/ below-cost country-by-country rates available on request.
