The Plausibility of Life
Resolving Darwin's Dilemma
Book • 2005
In 'The Plausibility of Life: Resolving Darwin's Dilemma', Marc W. Kirschner and John C. Gerhart propose the theory of facilitated genetic variation to explain how organisms can evolve new traits.
They argue that genetic variation is biased towards viable and functional outcomes, which are relevant to environmental conditions.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of evolutionary mechanisms and challenges traditional views on the generation of variation.
