Explore the depths of evolutionary theory with "Evolution in Four Dimensions, Revised Edition" by Eva Jablonka and Marion J. Lamb. This compelling read delves into the four inheritance systems that shape our understanding of evolution: genetic, epigenetic, behavioral, and symbolic. The authors present a more complex view of evolution, arguing that induced and acquired changes play a significant role in addition to natural selection. The book is accompanied by lively drawings from artist-physician Anna Zeligowski, which effectively illustrate the authors' points. Each chapter concludes with a dialogue in which Jablonka and Lamb refine their arguments against the skepticism of the fictional "I.M.". The extensive new chapter updates the information on each of the four dimensions, especially the epigenetic, where there has been an explosion of new research. It's a thought-provoking journey through the history of life, sure to captivate and challenge readers.
