Classic Texts 2 w7 ~( u7 t) z" fThe Evolution website provides you with twenty classic texts from the history of evolutionary biology. While there has to be an arbitrary element in the choice of papers, we have aimed to include timeless classics: some of them are still the works that dominate modern discussions, others remain as implicit towering structures behind the activities of the 21st Century. All, however, are superb scientific papers, providing all sorts of intellectual pleasure for the reader.: @; G- X v' w6 v, D
