In this book, a case study of a humanistic reading of an essential
evolutionary theorist, George C. Williams (May 12, 1926-September
8, 2010), the author contends that certain classic works of
evolutionary theory and history are the most important nature
writing of recent times. What it means to be scientifically
literate-is essential for humanistic scholars, who must ground
themselves with literary reading of scientific texts. As the most
influential American evolutionary theorist of the second half of
the twentieth century, Williams masters critique, frames questions
about adaptation and natural selection, and answers in a plain,
aphoristic writing style. Williams aims for parsimony-to "recognize
adaptation at the level necessitated by the facts and no
higher"-through a minimalist writing style. This voice articulates
a powerful process that operates at very low levels by blind and
selfish chance at the expense of its designed products, using
purely trial and error.
