A treasure of historically valuable insights that contributed to the development of evolutionary biology, this volume introduced the landmark contention that paleontology, embryology, ecology, and biogeography are inextricably linked in the process of classification. Its emphasis on advanced and original work gave major impetus to the study of science directly from nature.
Unabridged republication of the edition published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1962.
