Routledge Evolutionary Change: Systemic Theory of Development

Explore the complex mechanics of biological change with Evolutionary Change: Toward a Systemic Theory of Development and Maldevelopment. Originally published in 1997, this Routledge Library Edition examines the somatic mechanism of change and the biological systems that govern growth. As molecular biology advances, new possibilities emerge for shaping the human species and addressing pathological characteristics of biological development. This book examines the serious dangers these advancements may present. It looks specifically at the local nature of introduced changes and how the environment impacts the overall development of a biological system. This text provides a deep look into the biological mechanisms that drive evolution and development. It is a necessary resource for those studying the intersection of biology, environment, and systemic change within the fields of anthropology and sociology.
