Carroll to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Endless Forms Most Beautiful"Browse more products related to "Sean B. Carroll"Publisher's noteAn introduction to evolutionary developmental biology demonstrates how the many forms of animals evolved and came into being, documenting how the Evo Devo branch of science proved that all animal organs and appendages, from arms and legs to wings and fins, were created from a small number of primitive genes. Reprint. AnnotationBiologist Sean Carroll has produced a welcome anomaly in the evolutionary progression of science books--a mainstream study of evolution which looks towards the future, rather than the past. Carroll is one of the leaders of "Evo Devo," short for evolutionary development, which promises to be one of the most important emerging scientific fields of the 21st century. Mixing biology and genetics, Carroll and his cohorts analyze the patterns which determine how living entities develop from single cells into complex organisms. Carroll's endlessly compelling book is a fantastic introduction to the field, which simplifies some very complicated processes for the average reader. He shows how the development of organisms is inherently modular, in that separate parts are gradually modified over time, rather than appearing spontaneously through mutation. Carroll's most fascinating report is that the genetic switches which control the processes are nearly identical in every animal, from humans to fruit flies.
