Zustand: Book is fine. Jacket is fine. First edition. For organisms, sex is not just a bother, it is downright dangerous. If not the harbinger of death, as it is for the century plant, the praying mantis, or the mouse Antechinus, sex hastens the journey to the grave for all of us. If the direct costs of energy and time don't get you, the parasites and infections elements that, like the AIDS virus, have seized this chance to transfer themselves will. In spite of the immense pleasure and satisfaction we derive from it, sex is not good for us. Nor is it meant to be, sex is for genes. Of course, all organisms must die. Being born, dying, and having offspring in between: this is the biological imperative. Reproducing is, after all, what organisms are about, genes invented organisms as a means for their own perpetuation. We will discover that, as far as the perpetuation of genes is concerned, sex is a good thing; cleansing the genome of life-stopping damages, purging deleterious mutations, perhaps even providing hopeful variations for new environments. Although organisms come and go, genes are forever. - from Eros and Evolution. 8vo. green paper covered boards with cream colored cloth spine. 241 pp.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The concept of fitness has long been a topic of intense debate among evolutionary biologists and their critics, with its definition and explanatory power coming under attack. In this book, Richard Michod offers a fresh, dynamical interpretation of evolution and fitness concepts. He argues that evolution has no enduring products; what matters is the process of genetic change. Whereas many biologists have focused on competition and aggression as determining factors in survival, Michod, by concentrating on the emergence of individuality at new and more complex levels, finds that cooperation plays even a greater role. Michod first considers the principles behind the hierarchically nested levels of organization that constitute life: genes, chromosomes, genomes, cells, multicellular organisms, and societies. By examining the evolutionary transitions from the molecular level up to the whole organism, the author explains how cooperation and conflict in a multilevel setting leads to new levels of fitness. He builds a model of fitness drawing on recent developments in ecology and multilevel selection theory and on new explanations of the origin of life.Michod concludes with a discussion of the philosophical implications of his theory of fitness, a theory that addresses the most fundamental and unique concept in all of biology.…
