Is
evolution
predictible?
Taking
into
account
the
results
ofsuch
diverse
disciplines
of
natural
sciences
as
e.
g.genetics
embryology,
ecology,
palaeontology
on
the
thresholdof
the
coming
century,
the
authors
stretch
out
their
ideasfor
discussing
this
question.Charles
Devillers,
biologist,
and
Jean
Chaline,palaeontologist
and
geologist,
developed
a
new
assessment
ofthe
historic
framework
of
evolution,
based
on
theirlongterm
experiences
in
scientific
research,
also
includingphilosophical
aspects
to
life.
They
aimed
the
book
at
apublicreceptive
to
problems
of
the
origin
and
evolution
oflife
and
especially
of
mankind
to
teachers
and
scientists
ofvarious
topics
in
the
sciences
of
life,
Earth
and
theUniverse.
