Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Darwinism to-Day: A Discussion of Present-Day Scientific Criticism of the Darwinian Selection Theories, Together With a Brief Account of the Principal Other Proposed Auxiliary and Alternative Theories of Species-Forming This book is written for the sake of presenting simply and concisely to students of biology and to general readers the present-day standing of Darwinism in biological science, and to outline for them the various auxiliary and alternative theories of species-forming which have been proposed to aid or to replace the selection theories. Our actual knowledge of the factors and mechanism of organic evolution and our hypotheses and theories which serve to fill in the present gaps in this knowledge have been greatly added to and modified in the last few years. Much that the general reader includes in his conception of organic evolution, based on his reading of Darwin and Wallace and Spencer, has been materially modified and some of it proved untenable by modern investigation; while much which had no place in this earlier general understanding of evolutionary method and process may now be confidently added to it. The present time is one of unprecedented activity and fertility both in the discovery of facts and in attempts to perceive their significance in relation to the great problems of bionomics. Both destructive criticism of old, and synthesis of new hypotheses and theories, are being so energetically carried forward that the scientific layman and educated reader, if he stand but ever so little outside of the actual working ranks of biology, is likely to lose his orientation as to the trend of evolutionary advance. Precisely at the present moment is this modification of the general point of view and attitude of philosophical biologists unusually important and far-reaching in its relation to certain long-held general conceptions of biology and evolution.

OTHER THEORIES OF SPECIES-FORMING AND DESCENT (CONTINUED): AUXILIARY THEORIES (CONTINUED). Isolation Theories.--The varying importance attributed by different biologists to the theories explaining means and results of isolation is notable. While by thoTsda DEGREESon" f some the species-forming influence of isolation faotor imperial- is held to be as effective as selection itself, -- forming. some deem it more effective, --others attach but little importance to it, indeed see no effects of consequence. These latter men are likely to be morphologists, cytologists, and laboratory men generally; the former are systematists, students of distribution, and so-called field naturalists. Thus Delage, who gives much attention in his general discussion of the theories of heredity, variation, and species-forming to many purely speculative theories of the ultimate structure and behaviour of protoplasm, and of the mechanism of heredity, dismisses the whole subject of geographic and topographic isolation with a couple of superficial paragraphs, in which he presents a singularly fallacious statement of what the effects of isolation should be. On the other hand the veteran German world-voyager and exploring naturalist, Moritz Wagner, established long ago, on the basis of his observations and deductions, a "law" of species-forming by migration and consequent isolation, which in his mind makes the natural selection theory superfluous. And Henry Seebohm in a discussion of Romanes's 1 formulation of the principle of physiological selection, says: "So far as is known, no species (of birds) has ever been differentiated without the aid of geographical isolation, though evolution may have gone on to an unknown extent; and, so far as we can judge, ...

Download or read book Population Wars written by Greg Graffin and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the very beginning, life on Earth has been defined by war. Today, those first wars continue to be fought around and literally inside us, influencing our individual behavior and that of civilization as a whole. War between populations - whether between different species or between rival groups of humans - is seen as an inevitable part of the evolutionary process. The popular concept of "the survival of the fittest" explains and often excuses these actions. In Population Wars, Greg Graffin points to where the mainstream view of evolutionary theory has led us astray. That misunderstanding has allowed us to justify wars on every level, whether against bacterial colonies or human societies, even when other, less violent solutions may be available. Through tales of mass extinctions, developing immune systems, human warfare, the American industrial heartland, and our degrading modern environment, Graffin demonstrates how an over-simplified idea of war, with its victorious winners and vanquished losers, prevents us from responding to the real problems we face. Along the way, Graffin reveals a paradox: when we challenge conventional definitions of war, we are left with a new problem, how to define ourselves. Populations Wars is a paradigm-shifting book about why humans behave the way they do and the ancient history that explains that behavior. In reading it, you'll see why we need to rethink the reasons for war, not only the human military kind but also Darwin's "war of nature," and find hope for a less violent future for mankind.
