Evolution and the Levels of Selection
"Samir Okasha's wonderful new book...is a philosophical examination of the conceptual framework that multi-level selection theory deploys...It is gratifying that his book engages the details of mathematical models and at the same time connects those details with broader philosophical questions."--Elliott Sober,Bioscience"Okasha has written an extremely important book. required reading for anyone working on the levels of selection question.."--Jonathan Michael Kaplan,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Evolution and the Levels of Selection is a major contribution toward putting this controversial area on a coherent conceptual and philosophical footing...Okasha has greatly clarified many of the central issues. I can't imagine anyone working on multilevel selection - or attempting to dismiss it - without reading this book."--David Jablonski,Science"...a major conceptual contribution to evolutionary theory...Okasha's book makes the sort of contribution that will not be able to be ignored by anyone interested in this field for many years to come."--Massimo Pigliucci,Biology and Philosophy"...an extremely thought-provoking and important book about a difficult and highly technical topic."--Matt Haber,Mind"...a clearly written, unique and useful book."--Elizabeth Lloyd,Trends in Ecology and Evolution
