Evolution, Development, and the Predictable Genome

First  Edition©2011 David L. Stern

About

Sharing many of the guiding principles of evolution, population genetics, and developmental biology, Evolution, Development, and the Predictable Genome unites evolutionary and developmental biology. Arguing that  developmental biology and evolutionary biology are intertwined, the text states that it's impossible to understand one of them fully without understanding the other. Through insights from generations of evolutionary and developmental biologists, the text helps to form a solid foundation for future investigation of the genetic and developmental causes of diversity.
