Evolution and the Machinery of Chance
An innovative view of the role of fitness concepts in evolutionary theory. Natural selection is one of the factors responsible for changes in biological populations. Some traits or organisms are fitter than others, and natural selection occurs when there are changes in the distribution of traits in populations because of fitness differences. Many philosophers of biology insist that a trait’s fitness should be defined as an average of the fitnesses of individual members of the population that have the trait. Marshall Abrams argues convincingly against this widespread approach. As he shows, it conflicts with the roles that fitness is supposed to play in evolutionary theory and with the ways ...

Enchanted by Daphne
The extraordinary life story of the celebrated naturalist who transformed our understanding of evolution Enchanted by Daphne is legendary ecologist Peter Grant’s personal account of his remarkable life and career. In this revelatory book, Grant takes readers from his childhood in World War II–era Britain to his ongoing research today in the Galápagos archipelago, vividly describing what it's like to do fieldwork in one of the most magnificent yet inhospitable places on Earth. This is also the story of two brilliant and courageous biologists raising a family together while balancing the demands of professional lives that would take them to the far corners of the globe. In 1973, Grant and...
One Step Sideways, Three Steps Forward
The story of the unorthodox and inspiring life and career of a pioneering biologist Scientist Rosemary Grant’s journey in life has involved detours and sidesteps—not the shortest or the straightest of paths, but one that has led her to the top of evolutionary biology. In this engaging and moving book, Grant tells the story of her life and career—from her childhood love of nature in England’s Lake District to an undergraduate education at the University of Edinburgh through a swerve to Canada and teaching, followed by marriage, children, a PhD at age forty-nine, and her life’s work with Darwin’s finches in the Galápagos islands. Grant’s unorthodox career is one woman’s soluti...
عندما ينتحر الإله
اعالمة الأحياء المعروفة عالمياً والعضو المؤثر جداً في أكاديمية العلوم الأميركية حتى وفاتها سنة 2011 (لين مارغولس Lynn Margulis ) تقول في إحدى محاضراتها (إن حدوث طفرة وراثية جديدة لا ينتج عنها صنف جديد من الكائنات الحية، وإنما ينتج عنها أجيال ممسوخة من الكائنات الحية). [230] وأوضحت ذلك بصورة أكبر في مقابلة أجريت معها سنة 2011 حيث تقول: (يقول الداروينيون الجدد إن حدوث طفرات وراثية جديدة تعني ظهور أصناف جديدة من الحياة أو تحورات مفيدة في الأصناف الحياتية. وقد تم تعليمي وإفهامي لسنوات كثيرة من عمري بأن تراكم الطفرات الوراثية العشوائية يؤدي إلى تغيرات مفيدة وظهور أصناف جديدة، وقد صدَّقت ذلك حتى رأيت أن الإثباتات العلمية تنفي هذا الكلام).
