"Making Sense of Evolution "explores contemporary evolutionary
biology, focusing on the elements of theories--selection,
adaptation, and species--that are complex and open to multiple
possible interpretations, many of which are incompatible with one
another and with other accepted practices in the discipline.
Particular experimental methods, for example, may demand one
understanding of "selection," while the application of the same
concept to another area of evolutionary biology could necessitate a
very different definition.
Spotlighting these conceptual difficulties and presenting alternate
theoretical interpretations that alleviate this incompatibility,
Massimo Pigliucci and Jonathan Kaplan intertwine scientific and
philosophical analysis to produce a coherent picture of
evolutionary biology. Innovative and controversial, "Making Sense
of Evolution" encourages further development of the Modern
Synthesis and outlines what might be necessary for the continued
refinement of this evolving field.
