About this book

Originally published in 1932, The Mechanism of Creative Evolution presents a detailed discussion regarding the capacity of humans to influence the process of natural selection and thereby control its outcomes. The text was written by prominent British geneticist Charles Chamberlain Hurst (1870–1947). Illustrative figures and reference lists are also included. The Mechanism of Creative Evolution will be of value to anyone with an interest in perspectives on evolutionary development and the history of science.
