Evolutionary Essays are essays that I started to write at York University in Toronto, Canada, and finished the free drafts on 05-02-2012. They are in the genres of Philosophy, psychology, politics, economics, religion, culture, history, and evolution, with a good dosage of humor and intellect. Evolutionary Essays is what I see as positive for this planet and what is wrong especially in the modern Western civilizations. This is not just pure optimism and will use sound, logical, argumentational, and factual structures. This is also to dispel highly prevalent pessimisms and reveal realities, to regain constructive positivism which we have lost so many times nullifying our productivity; life is a sine wave, it is not about your success and failures but the fact you keep getting up again. it is not if you win or lose but how you fight your battles. it is not how you die but how you lived your life: Debts not paid in this one are incurred in the next one. This is to try and bring clarity and solutions from observation and experience, the distinct realm of philosophy. This is a philosophical discourse, description, and narration using logic, reason, reduction, deduction, facts, and argumentation to provide a point of view with constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement which may be adopted and/or applied to Citizens, governments, or corporations. A philosopher's position is to ask questions, not, per se, to answer anything or to be a guide, but rather to point in the correct direction of the past, present, and future, giving no more than a guideline for you can only find your own will and way. Where possible, though it is highly relative, one can try and reveal truth. Like light versus shadow it will always win in the end. Truth is commonality.

" It is easy to think of evolution as something that happened long ago, or that occurs only in "nature," or that is so slow that its ongoing impact is virtually nonexistent when viewed from the perspective of a single human lifetime. But we now know that when natural selection is strong, evolutionary change can be very rapid. In this book, some of the world's leading scientists explore the implications of this reality for human life and society. With some twenty-five essays, this volume provides authoritative yet accessible explorations of why understanding evolution is crucial to human life--from dealing with climate change and ensuring our food supply, health, and economic survival to developing a richer and more accurate comprehension of society, culture, and even what it means to be human itself. Combining new essays with ones revised and updated from the acclaimed Princeton Guide to Evolution, this collection addresses the role of evolution in aging, cognition, cooperation, religion, the media, engineering, computer science, and many other areas. The result is a compelling and important book about how evolution matters to humans today. The contributors include Francisco J. Ayala, Dieter Ebert, Elizabeth Hannon, Richard E. Lenski, Tim Lewens, Jonathan B. Losos, Jacob A. Moorad, Mark Pagel, Robert T. Pennock, Daniel E. L. Promislow, Robert C. Richardson, Alan R. Templeton, and Carl Zimmer."--

This collection of thirteen essays by prominent scholars explores the history of evolutionary thought in all of its cultural richness over the past two hundred years. Evolutionary ideas have undergone fundamental changes and are now found to have diverse sources and universal scope. They are no longer beholden to biologists' understanding of their own past, and do not focus exclusively on Charles Darwin. This volume aims to address the problem of the human significance of evolution. The contributors draw on contemporary sources as diverse as medicine, literature and natural history tableaux, as well as the resources of publishing history, feminine scholarship, and the histories of politics, sociology, and philosophy. The essays offer new perspectives on familiar figures such as Erasmus, Charles Darwin, Lamarck, Chambers, Huxley, and Haeckel, but also on many lesser known participants in the evolutionary debates.

In essays like "How to Fake Faking," and the title essay, "The Other Left Side: the Phenomenon of Left and Right in Evolution," Tijs Goldschmidt shatters our expectations of what a scientific essay is and then rebuilds it in intensely personal, artful and wry ways. Goldschmidt has won the top awards in Holland and is well known internationally within the field of science writing. Now for the first time available in English, his essays crackle with insight and joy at the discoveries to be made in the world in which we live—whether comparing the courtship rituals of men on the dance floor to the springtime courtship rituals of Eurasian wading birds, or visiting Hitler's watercolors in the vault of the US Army Center of Military History in Washington, DC, or noting how clumsy swifts are when brooding on land, or writing fascinatingly about left- and right-handedness. In the tradition of Stephen Jay Gould and Lewis Thomas, a gorgeous book of essays steeped in current evolutionary thought, one that invites readers to delight in our evolutionary present. This is a book for any reader, one that turns the deep currents of contemporary evolutionary biology into something to be savored and enjoyed by all. From the Hardcover edition.

Excerpt from Essays on Evolution 1889-1907 The essays on evolution included in this book have not been placed in the order of the original publication, but are grouped according to the relationship of the subjects with which they deal. The first is concerned with the time in which evolution took place, and is a reply to the late Lord Salisbury's contention that the age of the habitable globe is not sufficient for the process as conceived by Darwin and Wallace. The second attempts to define the material which has been subject to organic evolution - species. The third contrasts the Darwin-Wallace with the Lamarck-Spencer theory of evolution. Heredity, the arbiter between the two rival theories, forms the subject of the fourth and fifth essays. The sixth deals with a neglected episode in the history of modern views on heredity and evolution, and shows how they were born out of due time but afterwards died in the mind of James Cowles Prichard, the great anthropologist. The seventh, discussing Huxley's attitude towards Natural Selection, maintains that above all it is the experience of the student of living nature which inspires confidence in the theory. The eighth and ninth essays form the natural continuation of the argument of the seventh, and show that the immense number of facts grouped under Mimicry are consistent with an interpretation based on Natural Selection, and inconsistent with other attempted explanations.

Essays from the award-winning geneticist on evolutionary biology—from protein electrophoresis to the recent ability to scan entire genomes. John Avise is one of the most distinguished evolutionary biologists of our time. His groundbreaking work with mitochondrial DNA created the entire discipline of phylogeography and his work on the Pleistocene refugia hypothesis redirected scientific thinking about patterns of distribution. Spanning a remarkable thirty-five-year career, the essays gathered here were rewritten from his previously published articles and represent the first single-volume collection of Avise’s work. Moving through various questions in evolutionary biology, these eclectic essays reveal Avise’s unique perspectives on major topics in the field. From how to define a species to the folly of faulty applications of cladistics to connections between conservation and evolutionary biology, On Evolution takes the reader on a personal journey into the mind of one of the world’s leading evolutionists.

It is not often that one has the opportunity to send a public birthday greet ing to a friend and colleague of many years, and to congratulate him on having reached the age of reason. In fact it happens only once, and comes then as a surprise. Surely it was only a few years ago that we sat together at an International Genetics Congress in Ithaca, and only yesterday that we became members of the same department. The eighth floor of Schermerhorn Hall had a north end where the flies were and a south end furnished with mice, and in between, a seminar room and laboratory. There the distances were short and the doors open and the coffee pot busy. But it now appears that yesterday has fallen thirty years behind and that we have grown up. I find it interesting and appropriate that Dobzhansky's lifetime spans the period of maturation of the fields to which this volume is devoted. This is true in a chronological sense for his birth occurred in the same year, 1900, in which modern genetics began. The rediscovery of Mendel's princi ples and the interpretation of the nature of heredity and variation to which this event led were necessary prerequisites to the development of evolution ary biology as presented in this collection of essays.
