Homology, Genes, and Evolutionary Innovation

Discover the intricacies of evolutionary biology with Homology, Genes, and Evolutionary Innovation by esteemed author. Published by Princeton University Press in 2014, this hardback edition spans 496 pages and delves into the essential concept of homology. This term refers to traits shared by different species, such as the fin of a seal and the wing of a bird, which stem from a common ancestor.

This comprehensive work presents a mechanistically based theory that not only defines homology but also explores its emergence throughout evolution. Perfect for students, researchers, and anyone intrigued by the evolutionary processes that shape life on Earth, this book is a must-have addition to your collection. Dive into the world of evolutionary innovation and enhance your understanding of how genes influence the traits we observe across various species.
