Biological evolution, the theory of natural selection and of common
descent, is a triumph both of human reasoning and scientific
undertaking. The biological discipline of evolution contains both a
chronicle of human endeavour and the story of life on Earth. This
book is concerned with living forms and how they developed from
'simple and unpromising beginnings'. It considers evolution as both
process and product. The author, an experienced teacher and
educator, employs a historical narrative, used to convey the idea
of 'change with modification' and to emphasise the relevance of
evolution to contemporary bioscience. Biological evolution has now
become part of the scientific orthodoxy and this accessible text
will assist undergraduate students in the biological sciences
within any ongoing debate.
