Evolutionary Analysis Summary

Evolutionary Analysis by Scott Freeman

For undergraduates majoring in the biological sciences.

Building on the strengths of the first edition, Evolutionary Analysis, 2/e, continues to present evolution as a process, emphasizing the interplay between theory, observation, testing, and interpretation. By presenting principles through recent and classical studies and by emphasizing real-world applications, Evolutionary Analysis deftly conveys the excitement and logic of evolutionary science.
