Facts And Arguments For Darwin - Fritz Muller - Bog

""Facts and Arguments for Darwin"" is a book written by Fritz Muller, which provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the theory of evolution as proposed by Charles Darwin. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of Darwin's theory. In the first part, Muller discusses the evidence that supports the theory of evolution, including the fossil record, comparative anatomy, embryology, and biogeography. He also explains how natural selection works to drive evolutionary change and why it is such a powerful force in shaping the diversity of life on Earth.The second part of the book focuses on the objections and criticisms that have been raised against Darwin's theory over the years. Muller addresses each of these criticisms in turn, providing a clear and concise rebuttal to each one. He also discusses the various alternative theories that have been proposed to explain the diversity of life on Earth and explains why they are not as well-supported by the evidence as Darwin's theory.Finally, in the third part of the book, Muller discusses the implications of Darwin's theory for our understanding of the natural world and our place in it. He argues that evolution is not only a scientific fact but also a powerful metaphor for understanding the human condition and our relationship to the rest of the natural world.Overall, ""Facts and Arguments for Darwin"" is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the theory of evolution and its significance for our understanding of the natural world. It is an essential read for anyone interested in biology, natural history, or the history of science.To the question, how far the development of Ligia is repeated in the other Isopoda, I can only give an unsatisfactory answer. The curvature of the embryo upwards instead of downwards was met with by me as well as by Rathke in Idothea, and likewise in Cassidina, Philoscia, Tanais, and the Bopyridae, --indeed, I failed to find it in none of the Isopoda examined for this purpose. In Cassidina also the first larval skin without appendages is easily detected; it is destitute of the long tail, but is strongly bent in the egg, as in Ligia, and consequently cannot be mistaken for an ""inner egg-membrane.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
