The Deep Structure of Biology

Twelve renowned scientists and philosophers offer penetrating insights into the evolution dialogue in The Deep Structure of Biology. Each considers whether the orthodox model of evolution is sufficient and offers his/her own perspective on evolution and biology. Editor Simon Conway Morris provides the introduction and an overview of the issues as well as an essay on evolution and convergence. Other contributors are: Richard Lenski, George McGhee, Karl Niklas, Anthony Trewavas, Nigel Franks, Nicola Clayton, Nathan Emery, Hal Whitehead, Robert Foley, Celia Deane-Drummond, and John Haught. The discussion of biology and evolution in these essays will broaden the scope of the traditional evolution discussion, stimulating the development of further research programs. Biologists in the science and religion field will find this book a valuable resource.
