Conventional thinking about evolution takes notions like ‘organism’, ‘heredity’ and ‘reproduction’ for granted. Godfrey-Smith puts these ideas under the microscope. He explores a range of unusual examples, from bacteria to bee colonies, and uses them to show us what really makes natural selection work. This book opens up a fascinating range of new issues in the philosophy of biology.
