Provides an integrated view of the forces that influence the patterns and rates of vertebrate evolution from the level of living populations and species of those that resulted in the origin of the major vertebrate groups. No book since Simpson's Major Features of Evolution has attempted such a broad study of the patterns and forces of evolutionary change. The evolutionary roles of behaviour, development, continental drift, and mass extinctions are compared with the importance of variation and natural selection that were emphasized by Darwin.
