«What Evolution Is» is Ernst Mayr's popular science essay, published by Phoenix in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Ernst Mayr explains what evolution is and how it works, and why it is the only mechanism that accounts for the diversity of life. He defends the Darwinian explanation against fads and fallacies such as punctuated equilibrium, the selfish gene theory and evolutionary psychology, and closes with human evolution and its impact on how we see ourselves.
The essay «What Evolution Is» originally appeared in 2001; this edition is from 2002 and is part of the Science Masters series.
A work for general readers interested in biology and evolution, with no need for prior technical knowledge.
