Originally published in 1997 Evolutionary Change addresses the
somatic mechanism of change. Although astounding advances in
molecular biology have opened up new engineering possibilities to
shape our future in terms of "improving" the human species as well
as eradicating all kinds of pathological characteristics of
biological development, these possibilities pose potentially
serious dangers. They arise primarily from the local nature of
changes that are introduced and the impact of the environment on
the overall development of the biological system. The book explores
the biological mechanisms of change in their entirety - as they fit
into the general dynamics of biological systems - and demonstrates
the pitfalls of tackling change from a narrow perspective, using
cancer as an example of certain pathological manifestations of
these mechanisms of change.
