- catalog abstract ""Graeme Donald Snooks develops a remarkable replacement theory of evolution, which he calls the "dynamic-strategy theory." While the neo-Darwinism position places too great an emphasis on genetic change - giving rise to untenable but popular concepts such as the "selfish gene"--And fails to explain the fluctuating fortunes of life's most successful species (mankind). Snooks's framework systematically considers the broad patterns of life and human society." "The resultant realist theory posits life as a strategic pursuit (rather than a game of chance) in which organisms adopt dynamic strategies (only one of which is genetic change) to survive and prosper. Organisms' and species' progress is achieved through "strategic selection"--A concept that displaces the 'divine selection" of creationists and the "natural selection" of Darwinists. This new theory reveals the organism as empowered, rather than as the plaything of gods, genes, or blind chance; and it provides a new basis for humanism."--Jacket.".
