On this view, natural selection holds a central explanatory role in evolutionary theory - one that presumably reaches back to Charles Darwin‘s Origin of Species - a view also accompanied by the belief that the field of evolutionary biology is organized around a profound divide: theories relying on strong selective factors and those appealing only to weak ones...If one reads the new analyses presented in this volume by biologists, historians an |
