This collection of revised and new essays argues that biology is an
autonomous science rather than a branch of the physical sciences.
Ernst Mayr, widely considered the most eminent evolutionary
biologist of the 20th century, offers insights on the history of
evolutionary thought, critiques the conditions of philosophy to the
science of biology, and comments on several of the major
developments in evolutionary theory. Notably, Mayr explains that
Darwin's theory of evolution is actually five separate theories,
each with its own history, trajectory and impact. Ernst Mayr,
commonly referred to as the "Darwin of the 20th century" and listed
as one of the top 100 scientists of all-time, is Professor Emeritus
at Harvard University. What Makes Biology Unique is the 25th book
he has written during his long and prolific career. His recent
books include This is Biology: The Science of the Living World
(Belknap Press, 1997) and What Evolution Is (Basic Books, 2002).
