Description:Excerpt from New Perspectives on the History of Life: Essays on Systematic Biology as Historical Narrative (San Francisco, 21-23 June, 1994) So we have very good reason to take the narrative aspect of evolutionary biology very seriously, to assess its possible strengths and limitations, and to see what might be done with it in future research. But as Landau (1991) points out, in a very interesting study on the history of narratives of human evolution, scientists themselves have said very little about the narrative aspects of their own research. The present volume, although it is not exactly what Landau had in mind, may help to supply the deficiency. The studies presented here provide some conceptual background at the beginning, then go on to discuss some particular cases, mainly having to do with the fossil record and the embryo logical aspects of comparative anatomy. The chapters turn out to fit together into a coherent whole to a far greater extent than the organizers or contributors originally intended.
