Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Living Organisms The variety of living things is so great, the manifesta tions of life so diverse and wonderful, that it may seem at first sight impossible to explain them all as the result of the continuous and uniform action of certain funda mental natural causes. Yet this is the ambition of the scientific student of nature. But, before attempting to describe the process of evolution, and estimate the im portance of the several factors which have contributed to bring about the development of life, let us see what science can teach concerning the physical and chemical properties of living organisms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Evolution of Living Things and the Application of the Principles of Evolution to Religion IN the following Essay I have abstained from offering any hypothesis whatever which might help to elucidate the methods of Evolution. In the First Part I have endeavoured to give but little more than an outline, and that I fear a very imperfect one, of the evidence from palaeontology; while one chapter only (viii.) con tains a summary from living organisms.

Download or read book Evolution and Adaptation Classic Reprint written by Thomas Hunt Morgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and Adaptation The adaptation of animals and plants to the conditions under which they live has always excited the interest, and also the imagination, of philosophers and scientists; for this relation between the organism and its environment is one of the most characteristic features of living things. The ques tion at once suggests itself: How has such a relation been brought about? Is it due to something inherent in the liv ing matter itself, or is it something that has been, as it were, superimposed upon it? An example may make my meaning clearer. No one will suppose that there is anything inherent in iron and other metals that would cause them to produce an engine if left to themselves. The particular arrangement of the pieces has been superimposed upon the metals, so that they now fulfil a purpose, or use. Have the materials of which organisms are composed been given a definite arrange ment, so that they fulfil the purpose of maintaining the existence of the organism; and if so, how has this been accomplished? It is the object of the following pages to discuss this question in all its bearings, and to give, as far as possible, an idea of the present state of biological thought concerning the problem. I trust that the reader will not be disappointed if he finds in the sequel that many of the most fundamental questions in regard to adaptation are still unsettled.

Book excerpt: Evolution of Living Organisms: Evidence for a New Theory of Transformation discusses traditional interpretations of evolution with a new assumption. The book presents a rational and general account of real evolutionary phenomena based on paleontology and molecular biological data. The text reviews biological evolution from the simple to the complex or progressive and regressive evolution. The author explains the appearance of types of organization from Captorhinomorphs to Pelycosaurs to the Theriodonts- from which the mammals arose. He also explains that in the evolution to mammals, the trans ...

Download or read book General Biology Classic Reprint written by Leonas Lancelot Burlingame and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biology holds answers to some of the most pertinent questions of evolution. It is in this context that General Biology by Leonas Lancelot Burlingame holds its own as it encapsulates all the major strands in the subject while consciously ensuring that the book is relevant to the layman as well as professionals with domain knowledge. The reader will be pleased to find discussions on principles of biology rather than factual data that might be difficult to comprehend. Spread across numerous chapters, the underlying theme in General Biology by Leonas Lancelot Burlingame revolves around interdependence of organisms. Broken into sections with a total of 44 chapters that cover the life cycle of plants and animals, the author deconstructs rather complex explanations into easy summaries with lots of diagrams. The book draws out important differences between man and other living beings to show why human beings are at the epitome of the evolutionary cycle. This work borrows from more specific insights into plants, insects and other organisms by various scholars to provide a holistic view of biology. Unlike some other works, the reader can sift through concepts without going through the book in its entirety. The clear distribution and breakup of key concepts makes General Biology a ready reference for students of the subject as well as casual readers alike.

This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life, or Causes of Change in Animal Forms: A Study in Biology The great question of The Evolution of Life upon the earth, and the causes that have led to the successive changes in animal forms, is one that should be treated from an anatomical and a physiological point of view. Scientists have hitherto spoken of these changes that have taken place, and have concurred in the opinion that the lower forms of life have advanced in the scale of development, and in time have given rise to higher and newer forms. It is believed and generally accepted that the protoplasmic cell was the first vital organism that appeared upon the earth - that, following this in order came the protozoans, the fishes, the reptiles, the marsupials, the mammals, the higher apes, and finally man, but no attempt has ever been made, as far as I know, to explain the physiological causes of these changes in the anatomy of the animal kingdom. It is only a part of the truth to say that a reptile was evolved from a fish, a mammal from a reptile, and man from the higher apes. But this is not enough. The world is advancing to that point when it demands to know [1010 these changes took place, by what physi ological process they occurred, and what was the reason that induced them to change. It is this great point that I have endeavored to explain, - how far, and how well I have succeeded, I leave others to judge. If any thing is left unsaid or unexplained it may serve as a stimulus to future writers to finish the work I have planned out. I have written this work from a physi.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life: Its Origin, History and Future The University of Chicago in December, 1955, began planning its celebration of the centenary in the most appropriate manner - bringing to bear on the subject of evolution current knowledge from a variety of relevant fields, thus advancing once more our understanding of the world and man. About fifty scientists were selected during 1956, and their themes were agreed upon; during 1957 and 1958 they developed the papers that are published here. As these were completed, they were exchanged among the authors. Armed with new information and insights, all but five of the authors met at the University on November 22, 1959, to prepare for panel discussions of the issues in evolution; these were held for the public during a five-day Celebration, beginning on the Centennial of the publication date of Origin of Species. The discus sions were based on the papers that had been prepared and distributed in advance, but were not delivered at the Celebration. The present volume, The Evolution of Life, and its companion volume, The Evolution of Man, represent most of the collected Uni versity of Chicago Centennial papers. A small group on the relation ship between science and spiritual values appears in a third volume, Issues in Evolution, which also contains the panel discussions and an index to all three volumes. Collectively, this work 15 called Evolution after Darwin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
