A Mechanico-Physiological Theory Of Organic Evolution (1898) - Carl Von Nageli - Bog

A Mechanico-Physiological Theory Of Organic Evolution, written by Carl Von Nageli in 1898, presents a comprehensive scientific theory on the process of evolution in organic life. Nageli, a renowned Swiss botanist and biologist, proposes that evolution occurs through a combination of mechanical and physiological factors, including the interactions between organisms and their environment, as well as the internal mechanisms of cellular and genetic processes.The book is divided into three parts, with the first section providing a detailed analysis of the principles of mechanical and physiological evolution. Nageli argues that organisms evolve through a process of adaptation to their environment, driven by the forces of natural selection and genetic variation.In the second part of the book, Nageli explores the role of heredity in evolution, including the mechanisms of inheritance and the transmission of genetic traits from one generation to the next. He also discusses the role of mutations and genetic drift in shaping the course of evolution.The final section of the book is devoted to the practical applications of Nageli's theory, including its potential implications for agriculture, medicine, and other fields of science.Overall, A Mechanico-Physiological Theory Of Organic Evolution is a groundbreaking work that offers a unique perspective on the complex processes that drive evolution in the natural world. Nageli's insights continue to influence scientific thought and research to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
