The volume includes terms relating to the origin of life and the evidence and mechanisms of evolution, such as natural selection, heredity, and speciation. It also covers evolution in relation to the diversity of living organisms, including the terms used in phylogenetic classifications, evolutionary relationships, and relevant aspects of developmental biology. In addition, it covers aspects of the modern "evo/devo" school of biology. Major fields covered include heredity, molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and diversity of organisms. |
