Description “Close examination of the unification of biology also sheds light on a central problem of the history of biology--namely, the evolutionary synthesis. In discussing the synthesis, I will focus on three features: the unification of biology through the articulation of Theodosius Dobzhansky's evolutionary genetics framework, the consequent binding of the heterogeneous practices of biology, and the publication of Julian Huxley's Evolution: The modern synthesis. The central argument I will make is that the evolutionary synthesis signaled the unification of the biological sciences.”
