No Customer Reviews
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Extinction is a phenomenon humans are trying to halt through organizations like the International Union for the Conservation of Nature put out "red lists" of species that are nearing extinction and need extra help surviving. The theory of evolution, however, explains that survival and extinction have been part of the cycle of life for millions of years.
This book looks at the concept of extinction, how it relates to evolution and the scientific studies and processes that try to understand natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and gene flow.
