Selection

The book emphasizes the often-overlooked significance of the selection process in evolution, arguing that many biologists undervalue its distinctiveness. It critiques the common misconception that natural organisms are designed in the same way as human inventions. Instead, it presents selection as a unique method for achieving complex organization through the propagation of random variants. By clarifying these principles, the author aims to bridge the gap between Darwinian theory and public understanding, highlighting the importance of selection in the natural world.
