Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Darwin's 19th-century writings laid the foundations for modern studies of evolution, and theoretical developments in the mid-20th century fostered the Modern Synthesis. Since that time, a great deal of new biological knowledge has been generated, including details of the genetic code, lateral gene transfer, and developmental constraints. Our improved understanding of these and many other phenomena have been working their way into evolutionary theory, changing it and improving its correspondence with evolution in nature. And while the study of evolution is thriving both as a basic science to understand the world and in its applications in agriculture, medicine, and public health, the broad scope of evolution presents a significant challenge for researchers seeking to integrate abundant new data and content into a general theory of evolution. |
