With time, it seems, scholars discover new approaches to study topics, thus questioning old concepts, traditions, periodizations and historical labels. Apparently, this has not been the case in evolutionary thought. In that area, the main historiographic labels such as Darwinian Revolution, Eclipse of Darwinism, and Modern Synthesis have been in place and largely uncontested for about 50 years. Such labels seem to work as irrefutable, and often hidden, premises of many historical reconstructions, philosophical analyses, and scientific conceptualizations. This volume aims to move beyond this state of affair, opening new thinking avenues by revisiting the traditional historiography and laying the groundwork for establishing a “new historiography” that considers the intertwined threads that compose evolutionary biology. Notably, evolutionary studies seem to have been marked by the tension between unification attempts and the proliferation of approaches, methodologies, and styles of thinking. As the contributors to this volume illustrate, research traditions branched off throughout the history of evolutionary thought, before and after Charles Darwin. The resulting complexity challenges traditional thinking categories, throwing a somewhat different light on a more recent label like the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. More than 40 years after the now classic, The Evolutionary Synthesis: Perspectives on the Unification of Biology (1980), edited by Ernst Mayr and William Provine, the contributors to this volume aim to reevaluate where evolutionary biology stands today. . 0aEvolution (Biology).964762 0aSciencexHistory.965232 0aBiologyxPhilosophy.96963314aEvolutionary Theory.97999324aEvolutionary Biology.96616624aHistory of Science.96610124aPhilosophy of Biology.9696351 aDelisle, Richard G.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9835841 aEsposito, Maurizio.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9835851 aCeccarelli, David.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9835862 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303142628508iPrinted edition:z978303142630808iPrinted edition:z978303142631540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-42629-2  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c63046d63046
