Description
Evolution and Development examines the core conceptual issues at the intersection of evolutionary theory and developmental biology. This element provides a comprehensive philosophical analysis of how evolutionary processes shape developmental mechanisms and how development constrains or facilitates evolutionary change.
The author explores key questions including the relationship between microevolution and macroevolution, the role of developmental constraints in evolution, and how evo-devo frameworks challenge traditional neo-Darwinian perspectives. Love analyzes conceptual tools, theoretical frameworks, and empirical findings that illuminate our understanding of how organisms evolve and develop.
Ideal for students and scholars in philosophy of biology, evolutionary biology, and developmental biology, this work synthesizes cutting-edge research while providing rigorous philosophical foundations for understanding evolutionary developmental biology’s central problems and achievements.
