Second of six lectures by Julian Huxley , F.R.S.
Natural Selection:
The First Evolutionary Equation
Dr. Huxley explains how Natural Selection automatically results from the basic properties of life. It is the main agency of change during biological evolution, and, given enough time, will produce the most startling and apparently improbable results. Dr. Huxley gives some examples of these, and of the different ways Natural Selection acts in different circumstances, and ends this lecture with a brief account of that classic example of biological transformation, the evolution of horses during fifty million years.
