About the book
The textbook "Evolutionary Biology" was written and published in "1983" during which Minkoff was the head of the esteemed Biology department at Bates College. The book is written in a format to which it could be used in an evolutionary biology 101 course. The book contains over 25 chapters, for example, "The Origin and Early Evolution of Life." Although the book is out-of-date by now (as most college-level scientific textbooks become over several decades), "Evolutionary Biology" was extremely pivotal in discussing the various viewpoints and theories of meiosis and abiogenesis in relation to the origin of life and the evolution of the biologic species.
