摘要

This is a review essay on Evolution Evolving, by Kevin Lala, Tobias Uller, Nathalie Feiner, Marcus Feldman, and Scott Gilbert. The review suggests that the book marks a tipping point in the debate over the “extended evolutionary synthesis” (EES), as it provides a critical mass of arguments and evidence in favor of EES that is now difficult to ignore or dismiss. To emphasize this aspect, some of the book’s arguments are rephrased here as direct responses to persistent criticisms leveled at EES. The review also highlights the structural alliance the book envisages between EES and the humanities and social sciences. Evolution Evolving’s overall approach is to eschew polarization in the heated evolutionary debate by advocating an extension, not a replacement, of the core of evolutionary theory.
