Publisher's Synopsis
"Darwin and Modern Science" is a comprehensive book written by a team of experts, including A.C. Seward, on the impact of Darwin's theories on modern scientific research. The book covers a wide range of topics related to evolution, including genetics, paleontology, biogeography, and ecology, to name a few. The book begins with an overview of Darwin's life and work, including his famous voyage on the HMS Beagle and the development of his theory of natural selection. The subsequent chapters delve into the various fields of study that have been influenced by Darwin's work, with each chapter written by a different expert in that field. The authors explore how Darwin's ideas have shaped our understanding of genetics and heredity, and how they have contributed to the development of the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory. They also examine the role of fossils in the study of evolution, the impact of Darwin's theories on biogeography and the distribution of species around the world, and the ways in which evolution has influenced our understanding of ecology and the natural world.
