Why do the best-known examples of evolutionary change involve the
alteration of one kind of animal into another very similar one,
like the evolution of a bigger beak in a bird? Wouldn't it be much
more interesting to understand how beaks originated? Most people
would agree, but until recently we didn't know much about such
origins. That is now changing, with the growth of the
interdisciplinary field evo-devo, which deals with the relationship
between how embryos develop in the short term and how they (and the
adults they grow into) evolve in the long term. One of the key
questions is: can the origins of structures such as beaks, eyes,
and shells be explained within a Darwinian framework? The answer
seems to be yes, but only by expanding that framework. This book
discusses the required expansion, and the current state of play
regarding our understanding of evolutionary and developmental
origins.
