W Russell Brain

Originally published in 1927

"A brilliant exposition...of the evolutionary hypothesis." The Guardian

"Should prove invaluable..." Literary Guide

This non-technical but closely-reasoned book is a challenge to the orthodox teaching on evolution known as Neo-Darwinism. The author claims that although Neo-Darwinian theories can possibly account for the evolution of forms, they are quite inadequate to explain the evolution of functions.
