Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection fails to explain
the forms of organisms because it focuses on inheritance and
survival, not on how organisms are generated. The first part of
this 2007 book (by Gerry Webster) looks critically of the
conceptual structure of Darwinism and describes the limitation of
the theory of evolution as a comprehensive biological theory,
arguing that a theory of biological form is needed to understand
the structure of organisms and their transformations as revealed in
taxonomy. The second part of the book (by Brian Goodwin) explores
such a theory in terms of organisms as developing and transforming
dynamic systems, within which gene action is to be understood. A
number of specific examples, including tetrapod limb formation and
Drosophila development, are used to illustrate how these
hierarchically-organized dynamic fields undergo robust
symmetry-breaking cascades to produce generic forms.
