If you want to know how genetics and evolutionary biology were forged into
a monolithic Darwinian whole, then read The Evolutionary Synthesis: Perspectives
on the Unification of Biology. These reissued transcripts date from a conference
in 1974, when many of the architects of the synthesis were still around to
present their own personal recollections. Edited by Ernst Mayr and William
Provine, Harvard University Press, £13.50, ISBN 0674272269.
