Titolo: | Unifying biology : the evolutionary synthesis and evolutionary biology / V.B. Smocovitis. |
Abstract: | 'Close examination of the unification of biology also sheds light on a central problem of the history of biology--namely, the evolutionary synthesis. In discussing the synthesis, I will focus on three features: the unification of biology through the articulation of Theodosius Dobzhansky's evolutionary genetics framework, the consequent binding of the heterogeneous practices of biology, and the publication of Julian Huxley's "Evolution: The modern synthesis". The central argument I will make is that the evolutionary synthesis signaled the unification of the biological sciences.' |
