The New Foundations Of Evolution : On The Tree Of Life

  • The New Foundations Of Evolution : On The Tree Of Life
  • Attribution

    Jan Sapp
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009
  • Description

    Revisiting the history of microbiology for the first time from the perspective of evolutionary biology, Sapp shows why classical Darwinian conceptions centering on questions of the origin of species were forged without a microbial foundation, why classical microbiologists considered it impossible to know the course of evolution, and classical molecular biologists considered the evolution of the molecular genetic system to be beyond understanding.

The Case Of The Female Orgasm : Bias In The Science Of Evolution

  • The Case Of The Female Orgasm : Bias In The Science Of  Evolution
  • Attribution

    Elisabeth A. Lloyd
  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 2005
  • Description

    A judicious and revealing look at all twenty evolutionary accounts of the trait of human female orgasm, Lloyd’s book is at the same time a case study of how certain biases steer science astray. Here Lloyd’s critique comes alive, demonstrating how most of the evolutionary accounts either are in conflict with, or lack, certain types of evidence necessary to make their cases–how they simply assume that female orgasm must exist because it helped females in the past reproduce.

  • Attribution

    Lynne A. Isbell
  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 2009
  • Description

    It might have also figured in later human behavior: snakes, this book eloquently argues, may well have given bipedal hominins, already equipped with a non-human primate communication system, the evolutionary nudge to point to communicate for social good, a critical step toward the evolution of language, and all that followed.
