Description
"The goal of this book is to present evolutionary principles in their most general form and show how these principles apply across a range of domains including biology, culture, linguistics, economics and AI. While other scholars have attempted to do this, according to Vellend they have been burdened by a "Darwinian distraction" which impedes understanding. Ultimately, as the readers say, there is gap in the market for a broad, accessible book laying out the case for a synthetic evolutionary science and I think Vellend is on to something here"--
