Luck, or Cunning, as the Main Means of Organic Modification

About this book

In the late 19th century, the scientific community grappled with the intricacies of evolution, challenging established notions of heredity and adaptation. In "Luck, or Cunning, as the Main Means of Organic Modification," Samuel Butler presents a provocative exploration of how chance and intelligence shape biological change. He argues for the reintegration of design into the evolutionary process, emphasizing the roles of "luck" and "cunning" in organic modification. This thought-provoking work invites students, civic activists, and historians to reconsider the mechanisms of evolution beyond mere random mutation. Butler's insights resonate in contemporary discussions about heredity and environmental influence, making this document essential for those seeking a deeper understanding of evolutionary theory and its implications.
