From DNA to Diversity: Molecular Genetics and the Evolution of Animal Design Second Edition

This is a hardcover ex-library edition with visible signs of wear, including edge scuffs and library markings. The spine and binding remain intact, ensuring the book's usability. There is no dust jacket, and the cover shows some wear consistent with library use.

"From DNA to Diversity: Molecular Genetics and the Evolution of Animal Design" by Sean B. Carroll, Jennifer K. Grenier, and Scott D. Weatherbee is a seminal work in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. Published by Blackwell Publishing in 2004, this second edition expands on the foundational concepts of how genetic changes contribute to the diversity of animal forms. The authors, all experts in their fields, provide an updated synthesis of evolutionary biology, genetics, and embryology, making complex subjects accessible. This edition includes recent findings from evo-devo research, focusing on models of variation and divergence. The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the genetic basis of morphological change. This copy is an ex-library edition, showing signs of wear but remains a valuable addition to any scientific collection.
