About this book
In the early 20th century, Hugo de Vries penned "Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation," a groundbreaking scientific work challenging prevailing evolutionary theories. Delving into the theory of mutation, De Vries asserts its pivotal role in the emergence of species and varieties, diverging from the gradual change concept popularized by Darwin. This document introduces readers to the concept of mutation as a catalyst for biological diversity, shedding new light on the mechanisms driving evolution. Ideal for biology students and researchers, this text offers a fresh perspective on the origins of life forms, making it a must-read for those exploring evolutionary biology.
