"A Critique of the Theory of Evolution" by Thomas Hunt Morgan is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work encompasses a series of lectures that provide an in-depth examination of evolutionary theory, focusing on evidence from various biological fields, including genetics, comparative anatomy, and paleontology. Morgan discusses both traditional views on evolution and newer evidence to critically assess the validity and foundations of evolutionary theory. The opening of the book introduces its purpose, which is to critically reevaluate the evidence supporting the classical understanding of evolution in light of recent advancements in the field. Morgan notes the confusion surrounding the term "evolution," highlighting its application across diverse contexts—from celestial bodies to biological species and human inventions. He outlines the central themes of his lectures, including a focus on the traditional evidence of evolution, the implications of Mendel’s discoveries on heredity, and the physical basis of heredity, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of how evolutionary mechanisms might operate under contemporary scientific understanding.
