Book Description
Selected papers from a symposium in Budapest held June 29-July 3, 1987, are arranged in five parts: constraints in the origin of life and cellular organization, developmental constraints in evolution, genetical constraints in evolution, life history and evolution, and the shaping of the macroevoltuionary pattern. The 31 contributions are united by a common approach to the rigorous mathematical analysis and description of the processes of natural selection. Distributed by St. Martin's Press.
