About the book
"In The Evolutionists, Richard Morris portrays the controversies raging today in the field of evolutionary biology. With a clear and unbiased eye, he explores the fundamental questions about the evolutionary process that have provoked such vehement disagreement among some of the world's most prominent scientists, including Stephen Jay Gould, fellow paleontologist Niles Eldredge, geneticist John Maynard Smith, and zoologist Richard Dawkins.". "As he elucidates the issues of contention, Morris also positions them within the broader context of evolutionary thought as a whole. He explains the theory of evolution in detail, reviews the main trends of evolutionary science since Darwin, and assesses how the field is changing today - from ground-breaking new research to the emergence of scientific disciplines like complexity theory and evolutionary psychology.". "An account of contemporary evolutionary biology, The Evolutionists is a fascinating look at how controversy and debate shape the scientific process."--BOOK JACKET.
