In The Architecture of Evolution, Marco Tamborini demonstrates how this radical innovation was made possible by the largely forgotten study of morphology. Despite the key role morphology played in the development of evolutionary biology since the 1940s, the architecture of organisms was excluded from the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis. And yet, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the 1970s and \u009280s, morphologists sought to understand how organisms were built and how organismal forms could be generated and controlled. The generation of organic form was, they\n\nThe Architecture of Evolution\nThe Science of Form in Twentieth-Century Evolutionary Biology\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using ;
