The Causes of Evolution | Nature

ABSTRACT Once again Prof. J. B. S. Haldane has produced a lively and stimulating book. Dealing with problems of general significance, it contains much to interest both the professional

biologist and the layman. It is based on a course of lectures delivered at the Prifysgol Cymru, Aberystwyth, and entitled “A Re-examination of Darwinism”. Although, as its new title implies,

its scope is now somewhat larger than the original title of the lectures would suggest, yet the main purpose of the book is to examine the Darwinian hypothesis of natural selection as a

cause of evolution in the light of modern experimental and theoretical work. The Causes of Evolution. By Prof. J. B. S. Haldane. Pp. vii + 235. (London, New York and Toronto: Longmans, Green
