Rövid leírás:
Evolution since Darwin: The First 150 Years comprises twenty-two chapters and eight shorter commentaries that emerged from a symposium held in November 2009 at Stony Brook University. Thirty-nine authors from twenty-two universities and two museums in five countries wrote on areas of evolutionary biology and related topics on which their research focuses. Their essays cover the history of evolutionary biology, populations, genes and genomes, evolution of form, adaptation and speciation, diversification and phylogeny, paleobiology, human cultural and biological evolution, and applied evolution. The volume is intended to summarize progress in major areas of research in evolutionary biology since Darwin, to review the current state of knowledge and active research in those areas, and to look toward the future of the broader field.

Evolution since Darwin presents an excellent survey and synthesis of where evolutionary biology stands in the early 21st century. It will provide students and researchers with much to think about, as we look toward the bicentennial of Origin of Species in 2059. As such, we particularly recommend this book to beginning graduate students who would like a comprehensive overview of modern evolutionary science.
