A brief summary of my ideas on evolution.
A brief summary of my current ideas on evolution is presented. Three recent books that represent important synopses of evolution are considered in the discussion. Differences between plants and animals that have important implications for evolution in the two groups are discussed. Progress in understanding plant evolution requires synthetic studies integrating data from many different areas of research.
