Contents:
PART I Foundations of Evolutionary Biology 1. An Overview of Evolutionary Biology 2. Early Evolutionary Ideas and Darwin’s Insight 3. Natural Selection 4. Phylogeny and Evolutionary History 5. Inferring Phylogeny PART II Evolutionary Genetics 6. Transmission Genetics and the Sources of Genetic Variation 7. The Genetics of Populations 8. Evolution in Finite Populations 9. Evolution at Multiple Loci 10. Genome Evolution PART III The History of Life 11. The Origin and Evolution of Early Life 12. Major Transitions 13. Evolution and Development 14. Species and Speciation 15. Extinction and Evolutionary Trends PART IV Evolutionary Interactions 16. Sex and Sexual Selection 17. The Evolution of Sociality 18. Coevolution 19. Human Evolution 20. Evolution and Medicine
Summary: The most current introduction to evolutionary biology, with an emphasis on anthropogenic evolution and data literacy. A thorough and current introduction to evolutionary biology reinforced by tools that improve learning. Every chapter has been updated to provide a more focused, accessible introduction to core topics reflecting exciting new research, anthropogenic evolution examples, and increased emphasis on building data literacy. These emphases are reinforced by InQuizitive, which was revised and expanded to include more questions that involve interpreting evolutionary data and engaging with contemporary research.---summary provided by publisher
