Featuring an introduction by Stephen Jay Gould, "Genetics and the Origin
of Species" presents the first edition of Dobzhansky's groundbreaking
and now classic inquiry into what has emerged as the most important
single area of scientific inquiry in the twentieth century: biological
theory of evolution. Genetics and the Origin of Species went through
three editions (1937, 1941, and 1951) in which the importance accorded
natural selection changed radically.
