Since George Gaylord Simpson published Tempo and Mode in Evolution
in 1944, discoveries in paleontology and genetics have abounded.
This volume brings together the findings and insights of today's
leading experts in the study of evolution, including Ayala, W. Ford
Doolittle, and Stephen Jay Gould. The volume examines early
cellular evolution, explores changes in the tempo of evolution
between the Precambrian and Phanerozoic periods, and reconstructs
the Cambrian evolutionary burst. Long-neglected despite Darwin's
interest in it, species extinction is discussed in detail. Although
the absence of data kept Simpson from exploring human evolution in
his book, the current volume covers morphological and genetic
changes in human populations, contradicting the popular claim that
all modern humans descend from a single woman. This book discusses
the role of molecular clocks, the results of evolution in 12
populations of Escherichia coli propagated for 10,000 generations,
a physical map of Drosophila chromosomes, and evidence for
"hitchhiking" by mutations. Table of Contents Front Matter Early
