TY - GEN T1 - Unifying biology : the evolutionary synthesis and evolutionary biology A1 - Smocovitis, Vassiliki Betty LA - English PP - Princeton, N.J.

For more than seventy years after Darwin proposed his theory of evolution, it was hotly debated by biological scientists. It was not until the 1930s that opposing theories were finally refuted and a unified Darwinian evolutionary theory came to be widely accepted by biologists. Using methods gleaned from a variety of disciplines, Vassiliki Betty Smocovitis argues that the evolutionary synthesis was part of the larger process of unifying the biological sciences.
