Textbook Description
Extensively reorganized and rewritten, the new Evolution 4th edition (PDF) — featuring a new coauthor: Mark Kirkpatrick (The University of Texas at Austin) — offers additional expertise in evolutionary genomics and genetics, the fastest-developing area of evolutionary biology. Directed toward an undergraduate audience, the PDF etextbook emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, thus acquainting college students with the process of science. It addresses major themes — including the history of evolution, adaptation, evolutionary processes, and evolution as an explanatory framework — at levels of biological organization ranging from ecological communities to genomes.
