The Nature of Selection - Elliott Sober
evolutionary theory in philosophical focus
KORTE INHOUD
'The Nature of Selection' is a straightforward, self-contained introduction to philosophical and biological problems in evolutionary theory. It presents a powerful analysis of the evolutionary concepts of natural selection, fitness, and adaption and clarifies controversial issues concerning altruism, group selection, and the idea that organisms are survival machines built for the benefit of the genes that inhabit them.
"Elliott Sober has made extraordinarily important contributions to our understanding of biological problems in evolutionary biology and causality.
'The Nature of Selection' is a major contribution to understanding epistemological problems in evolutionary theory. I predict that it will have a long-lasting place in the literature." (Richard C. Lewontin)
