Animal Anomalies

What Abnormal Anatomies Reveal about Normal Development

de Lewis I. Held, Jr ...

Among the offspring of humans and other animals are occasional individuals that are malformed in whole or in part. The most grossly abnormal of these have been referred to from ancient times as monsters, because their birth was thought to foretell doom; the less severely affected are usually known as anomalies. This volume digs deeply into the cellular and molecular processes of embryonic ... Leer más

Darwin’s Dream View:

A Great “Scientific” Joke

de Jianyi Zhang ...

Darwin's 1859 theory of evolution by natural selection has become foundational across biology, philosophy, and geopolitics. Yet this entrenchment demands scrutiny. While biological change is undeniable, Darwin's specific mechanism for speciation — sustained intraspecific competition for limited resources leading to reproductive isolation — remains unproven and unfalsifiable.Biological evolution ...
