Publisher's Synopsis
""On The Hypothesis Of Evolution"" is a book written by Edward Drinker Cope in 1870. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the theory of evolution and its implications. Cope, a renowned American paleontologist, presents his arguments for the hypothesis of evolution, which he believes is supported by scientific evidence. He discusses the origin of life, the development of species, and the role of natural selection in the process of evolution.Cope's book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the theory of evolution. He begins by discussing the history of the theory, tracing its roots back to the ancient Greeks and exploring the contributions of scientists such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Cope then delves into the mechanisms of evolution, including variation, inheritance, and selection.Throughout the book, Cope provides numerous examples from the natural world to support his arguments. He discusses the fossil record, the similarities and differences between species, and the adaptations that organisms have developed over time. He also explores the relationship between humans and other animals, arguing that humans are not fundamentally different from other species and should not be considered separate from the natural world.Overall, ""On The Hypothesis Of Evolution"" is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the theory of evolution. Cope's insights and arguments continue to be relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and science of evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
