How does the anatomy of a plant adjust to the unique characteristics of local pollinators?How do animals develop specific features that make exquisite examples of mimicry possible?How do unrelated species form mutualistic relationships?In habitats around the globe, many organisms exhibit adaptations that are well-suited to their exact circumstances. For ages, scientists have pointed to the Darwinian theory of evolution to explain these phenomena, but this level of adaptability requires highly specific mutations. A more viable explanation has been discovered for some evolutionary changes and this book sheds new light on how these genetic changes emerge. In Purposeful Evolution, a modern evolutionary theory is explored that highlights the cause and effect relationship between the evolutionary changes of organisms and various environmental factors that affect their survivability.Several breathtaking examples demonstrate the incredible ways in which organisms work alone and in tandem to thrive in a variety of environments.Purposeful Evolution challenges readers to draw their own conclusions about whether the biodiversity throughout Earth's history is always the product of pure coincidence.
