Lamarck's Signature: How Retrogenes Are Changing Darwin's Natural Selection Paradigm
Edward J. Steele - Robyn A. Lindley - Robert V. Blanden. "Lamarck's Signature begins with a bold preface and 'pre-chapter' entitled "Dogma" which are presumably intended to whip up controversy and garner quick attention from the scientific community. The authors then settle into a much less provocative explanation of various topics like molecular biology and the immune system for about half a dozen chapters before launching into a tirade for a final chapter and Epilogue. A more subtle approach--especially near the end of the book--would have been more warranted, but I suppose Steele is beginning to tire to the lack of response to his twenty year old theory. To stir the pot a bit more vigorously, he has chosen to conclude this work in a more combative style." [eng]

Regarded as the founder of invertebrate paleontology, he is noted for his study and classification of invertebrates and for his evolutionary theories; the latter were first made public in his Système des animaux sans vertèbres (1801). Lamarck's theory of evolution, or Lamarckism, asserted that all life forms have arisen by a continual process of gradual modification throughout geological history. [eng]
