Covering the story of Darwin's great idea, science writer Gerard Cheshire explores the evolutionary path of neo-Darwinism itself and shows how Lamarckian ideas still have a role to play in evolutionary theory. With a rich array of rarely published period prints from the Jennings Collection in Bath, and examples of the the latest genetic research this book asks some huge questions about life in the universe and includes the following topics: * The causes of genetic variation: from Mendel to mitosis. * Sexual selection - how the peaock got its tail. * Mimicry and camouflage, miracles made easy over time. * Simple biotics, prions, viruses and bacteria - examples of adaptive DNA. * Unlike outcomes - the success of altruistic strategies. * Convergent evolution.
