A Critique of the Theory of Evolution

"A Critique of the Theory of Evolution" by Thomas Hunt Morgan is a scientific work from the early 1900s that carefully looks at evolutionary theory, using information from genetics, anatomy, and fossils. The book, which is a compilation of lectures, checks both old ideas and new discoveries to judge how strong evolutionary theory really is. It starts by explaining that the goal is to rethink the usual ideas about evolution using the latest science. Morgan points out that "evolution" is used to mean many different things, from stars to animals to inventions. He then lays out what the lectures will cover: the usual proof for evolution, what Mendel's ideas about heredity mean, and the physical roots of heredity., all leading to a close look at how evolution might work based on the modern science of that time.
