Description:
Introduces an important recent discovery in genetics -- the discovery of a new type of gene called homeobox genes -- and argues that this discovery leads to a radical new understanding of how evolution works. The author argues that these genes can cause dramatic and very rapid mutations in animals and that this means that evolution can happen very fast sometimes, as opposed to working only very slowly as has been the popular theory. This argument also provides the answer to one of the great outstanding questions in evolution, which is exactly how new species emerge. The author that new species emerge because of homeobox genes.
