Professor Presents Unique Theory of Evolution in New Book

In Frozen Evolution: Or, That's Not the Way it is, Mr. Darwin - A Farewell to Selfish Gene, professor and author Jaroslav Flegr turns evolutionary theory on its head. Flegr presents genetic, paleontological and zoogeographical evidence to demonstrate that evolution of sexual species stops when a sufficient amount of genetically determined variability accumulates in the gene pool.

In the book, the author rejects Darwin's theory of evolution or the theory of the "selfish gene," arguing that neither can explain evolution of sexual organisms. Flegr suggests adaptive properties of organisms are formed during a short period of evolutionary plasticity in which the species can change its properties in response to selection pressures in the environment.

Intelligently written, Frozen Evolution is also reader friendly for both scientists and laypeople alike. Flegr introduces and explains more than 98 different scientific terms such as adaptive traits, Lamarckian model of evolution and more, so that even general audiences can appreciate his arguments. Whether readers are students or scientists, Flegr expects his new book to have a profound impact on the way people think about evolution.
