Part of the Elements in the Philosophy of Biology series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Natural selection causes adaptation, the fit between an organism and its environment.
For example, the white and grey coloration of snowy owls living and breeding around the Arctic Circle provides camouflage from both predators and prey.
In this Element, we explore a variety of such outcomes of the evolutionary process, including both adaptations and alternatives to adaptations, such as nonadaptive traits inherited from ancestors.
We also explore how the concept of adaptation is used in evolutionary psychology and in animal behavior, and the adequacy of methods used to confirm evolutionary accounts of human traits and behaviors.
