Darwinian Dynamics : Evolutionary Transitions in Fitness and Individuality /
In this book, Richard Michod offers a fresh, dynamical interpretation of evolution and fitness concepts. He argues that evolution has no enduring products; what matters is the process of genetic change. Whereas many biologists have focused on competition and aggression as determining factors in surv...
