How Evolution Really Works
Selection, Chance, and the History of LifeDe Atlas Meyers
Duração3h 34m
Sobre este audiolivro
How does evolution produce extraordinary adaptations without a plan? Why do some changes spread through a population while others disappear? And why can the same evolutionary processes produce surprisingly different outcomes?
In How Evolution Really Works, Atlas Meyers follows the evidence from a long-running experiment with bacteria to the beaks of Darwin’s finches, the genetic history of stickleback fish, the beginnings of new species, and the fossils that illuminate life’s deep past. Along the way, the book explains what mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and historical contingency actually do—and why none of them alone tells the whole story.
Written as an engaging journey through scientific discoveries rather than a textbook survey, this introduction to evolutionary biology shows how change can be lawful without being predictable, and how life’s history shapes what becomes possible next.
