The onset of a new paradigm

This is a very useful account, for anyone who realizes a new paradigm is coming, in a somewhat unusual format, of the many changes going on in the field of biological theory and is recommended highly as a source of information, more conventional sources are too bashful to divulge, on many aspects of the change face of Darwinism. Among them are a clear snapshot account of the revolution underway in our understanding due to the research on hox genes. The implications of this for the current views on natural selection are momentous, and the book includes a considerable critique of the views of R. Dawkins and the limitations of the Neo-Darwinian synthesis as currently taken. Important reading.
