Evolution of Social System
ISBN: 9782881243172 / Angielski / Twarda / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, J.P.Scott combines genetic theories of evolution, systems theory, and theories of behavioural evolution to explain the evolution of social behaviour and organization. He proposes that caregiving has evolved from self care, to care of fertilized eggs, to developing embryos, to hatchings. Care may then be extended to adult offspring, collateral relatives and to unrelated others.

The Evolution Debate, 1813-1870
ISBN: 9780415289221 / Angielski / Twarda / 3748 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of evolutionary thought is often seen as a triumph of secularism in the form of 'scientific naturalism', over religious bigotry. But for those involved in the debate during the nineteenth century, these divisions were not so clearly marked.
This collection of nine volumes will bring together key works in the development of evolutionary theory from fundamentalists, such as Philip Gosse who insisted on a literal reading of Genesis, to T.H. Huxley, whose passionate defence of evolution theory earned him the title of 'Darwin's Bulldog'. Between these two extreme positions...

Evolutionary Biogeography: An Integrative Approach with Case Studies
ISBN: 9780231143783 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rather than favoring only one approach, Juan J. Morrone proposes a comprehensive treatment of the developments and theories of evolutionary biogeography. Evolutionary biogeography uses distributional, phylogenetic, molecular, and fossil data to assess the historical changes that have produced current biotic patterns. Panbiogeography, parsimony analysis of endemicity, cladistic biogeography, and phylogeography are the four recent and most common approaches. Many conceive of these methods as representing different "schools," but Morrone shows how each addresses different questions in the...
