de Romain Parmentier ...

Traducido por Yaroslav Melnik ...

У 1859 році була опублікована фундаментальна книга Чарльза Дарвіна про походження видів шляхом природного відбору, з новаторською ідеєю про те, що всі види на землі є результатом повільного еволюційного процесу і продовжують розвиватися в рамках боротьби, яка зараз широко відома як виживання найбільш пристосованих. Висновки Дарвіна були результатом багаторічних ретельних спостережень, але ... Leer más

The Rise of the Animal Kingdom

de Wallace Arthur ...

The most important aspect of evolution, from a philosophical viewpoint, is the rise of complex, advanced creatures from simple, primitive ones. This "vertical" dimension of evolution has been downplayed in both the specialist and popular literature on evolution, in large part because it was in the past associated with unsavory political views. The avoidance of evolution's vertical dimension has, ... Leer más
