How have we come to understand the origin of species? What challenges does evolutionary theory face today? Is Darwin the end point of evolutionary history or just the beginning of a vision in constant transformation? From the first glimpses of organic transformation in the 18th century to the advances in genetics and molecular biology today, this book traces a fascinating journey through the evolution of evolutionary thought. Jordi Agustí unravels the history of the ideas that have shaped our understanding of biological change, from Lamarck and Darwin to the most recent theories on EvoDevo and self-organization. With a clear and accessible approach, the author guides us through the key moments that have shaped evolutionary biology and their impact on our worldview. This work is an invitation to reflect on the evolution of evolutionary theory itself. At a time when scientific discoveries continue to redefine our place in nature, The Ages of Evolution becomes essential reading for understanding not only our biological past, but also the challenges of the future.
