Strickberger’s Evolution
Author:Brian K. Hall, Benedikt Hallgrímsson
Edition:5th Edition
Evolutionary biology is explored through the integration of genetics, ecology, and paleontology to explain the origin and diversity of life. It examines natural selection, genetic variation, speciation, and evolutionary processes across populations and species, while connecting these concepts to human evolution, environmental change, and the broader history of life on Earth.
