Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the intellectual development of the idea of evolution across two dozen centuries, from the first Greek anticipations to the birth of Darwinâs theory. The author argues that although the Greeks lacked the scientific method and knowledge necessary for a full understanding of evolution, they made significant speculative contributions to the idea. Greek natural philosophy, which was deeply influenced by observation of the natural world, produced theories of transformation and natural causation that foreshadowed later scientific discoveries. Aristotle, the culmination of Greek natural philosophy, developed a comprehensive theory of the natural world that included a rudimentary understanding of evolution. The book concludes that the Greek anticipations of evolution, though incomplete and often speculative, were a vital part of the intellectual history of the idea and laid the groundwork for its eventual scientific formulation.
