A New Theory Of The Origin Of Species

By Benjamin G. Ferris and Benjamin G Ferris

Book Overview

A New Theory of the Origin of Species is a book written by Benjamin G. Ferris and published in 1883. The book presents a new theory on how species originate, challenging the widely accepted theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin. Ferris argues that species originate not through gradual adaptation to changing environments, but through sudden and spontaneous mutations. He also suggests that the environment plays a minor role in the origin of species, and that the internal forces of the organism are the primary drivers of evolution. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Ferris's theory. The author provides detailed examples and evidence to support his arguments, drawing on his extensive knowledge of biology and genetics. A New Theory of the Origin of Species is a thought-provoking and controversial work that challenges traditional ideas about evolution and the role of natural selection.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
