The Philosophy of Evolutionary Theory

Beschreibung

Fitness, natural selection, common ancestry, mutation, chance, taxonomy, and adaptation are central concepts in Darwin's theory of evolution, and in the 20th and 21st century theories that grew out of it. This book uses ideas about probability to discuss philosophical questions that these concepts raise.
