Evolutionary biology has been a remarkably dynamic area since its foundation. Its true complexity, however, has been concealed in the last 50 years under an assumed opposition between the "Extended Evolutionary Synthesis" and an "Alternative to the Evolutionary Synthesis". This multidisciplinary book series aims to move beyond the notion that the development of evolutionary biology is structured around a lasting tension between a Darwinian tradition and a non-Darwinian tradition, once dominated by categories like Darwinian Revolution, Eclipse of Darwinism, Evolutionary Synthesis, and Post-Synthetic Developments.
The monographs and edited volumes of the series propose an alternative to
this traditional outlook with the explicit aim of fostering new thinking habits
about evolutionary biology, a multifaceted area composed of changing and
interacting research entities and explanatory levels. Contributions by
biologists and historians/philosophers are welcomed.
Topics covered in the series span from (among
