  • Book Description

    The study of macroevolution continues to offer profound insight into our understanding of the evolution of biological diversity. This expanded and updated second edition offers a comprehensive look at macroevolution. From a Neodarwininan viewpoint, it integrates evolutionary processes at all levels to explain animal diversity. It examines topics including genetics and speciation, development and evolution, the constructional and functional aspects of form, fossil lineages, systematics, and the Cambrian explosion. It delves into the age of molecular science, and integrates important recent findings. Researchers and graduate students will find this book a most comprehensive and up-to-date examination of macroevolution.

  • Product Description

    This expanded and updated second edition offers a comprehensive look at macroevolution and its underpinnings, with a primary emphasis on animal evolution. From a Neodarwinian point of view, the book integrates evolutionary processes at all levels to explain the diversity of animal life. It examines a wide range of topics including genetics, speciation, development, evolution, constructional and functional aspects of form, fossil lineages, and systematics, and --in a major new chapter--takes a hard look at the Cambrian explosion. The author delves into the age of molecular science and integrates important recent contributions made to our understanding of evolution.
