The driving forces of natural selection leave their traces in the shapes of living creatures and their patterns of distribution. In this thoughtful and wide-ranging discussion of evolutionary process and adaptive response, Geerat Vermeij elucidates the general principles that underlie the great diversity of marine forms found in the world's great oceans.
Praise
-
This Darwinian book—there is hardly higher praise—is a step towards understanding, which will probably challenge our technical methods more than the broad insights of that clever naturalist on the Beagle did.
-
A valuable addition to the literature and represents a significant contribution to our understanding of the ways in which biological interactions influence the structural design of living organisms.
