Description

J. B. S. Haldane’s The Causes of Evolution (1932) is a landmark work that laid the foundation for the modern synthesis of evolutionary biology. In this influential text, Haldane integrates Mendelian genetics with Darwinian natural selection, providing a mathematical and theoretical framework for understanding evolutionary change. He explores mutation, selection, genetic variation, and population dynamics, demonstrating how these processes collectively drive evolution. Written with scientific precision and clarity, the book bridges biology, mathematics, and philosophy, marking a turning point in evolutionary theory. It remains a classic reference for students, researchers, and readers interested in the development of evolutionary thought.
