About the Book

The New Field of evolutionary developmental biology is one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biology. The fundamental principle of evolutionary development biology ("evo-devo") is that evolution acts through inherited changes in the development of the organism. "Evo-devo" is not merely a fusion of the fields of developmental and evolutionary biology, the grafting of a developmental perspective into evolutionary biology or the incorporation of an evolutionary eprspective into developmental biology. Evo-devo strives for a unification of genomic, developmental, organismal, population and natural selection approaches to evolutionary change. It draws from development, evolution, paleontology, ecology, and molecular and systematic biology, but has its own set of questions, approaches and methods.
