This book presents a collection of linked essays written by one of the leading philosophers of biology, Kim Sterelny, on the topic of biological evolution.The first half of the book explores most of the main theoretical controversies about evolution and selection, while the second half of the book applies some of these ideas in considering cognitive evolution. These essays, some never before published, form a coherent whole that defends not jut an overall conception of evolution, but also a distinctive take on cognitive evolution.
