{"product_id":"the-mechanisms-of-evolution-steven-hawkins-9781907962158","title":"The Mechanisms of Evolution: A Critique of the Neo-Darwinian Modern Synthesis","description":"Do we understand how evolution works? In this book Steven Hawkins outlines various possible mechanisms of biological evolution - the Neo-Darwinian Modern Synthesis, Symbiogenesis and Developmental Systems Theory. He contrasts and compares these various theories and proposes a view of evolution in which all three mechanisms have a role to play. In this schema 'natural selection' only has a minor role to play in biological evolution. In the final chapter Hawkins considers non-biological evolution and is drawn to conclude that we are unable to understand the fundamental nature of both non-biological evolution and biological evolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Hawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907962158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907962158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Light Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.16d","brand":"Steven Hawkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939141943551,"sku":"9781907962158","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c06ef0ab-0a51-482b-83eb-884f77fee339.jpg?v=1681439740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mechanisms-of-evolution-steven-hawkins-9781907962158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
