In Darwinism's Struggle for Survival Jean Gayon offers a
philosophical interpretation of the history of theoretical
Darwinism. He begins by examining the different forms taken by the
hypothesis of natural selection in the nineteenth century (Darwin,
Wallace, Galton) and the major difficulties which it encountered,
particularly with regard to its compatibility with the theory of
heredity. He then shows how these difficulties were overcome during
the seventy years which followed the publication of Darwin's Origin
of Species, and he concludes by analysing the major features of the
genetic theory of natural selection, as it developed from 1920 to
1960. This rich and wide-ranging study will appeal to philosophers
and historians of science and to evolutionary biologists.
