His  work in comparative embryology is best known in regard to the debates  with Ernst Haeckel concerning animal genealogical relationships and  the theoretical origins of metazoans. But independent of those  polemics, Metchnikoff developed his `phagocytosis theory' of immunity  as a result of his early comparative embryology research, and only in  examining the full breadth of his work do we appreciate his signal  originality. Metchnikoff's scientific papers have remained largely  untranslated into English. Assembled here, annotated and edited, are  the key evolutionary biology papers dating from Metchnikoff's earliest  writings (1865) to the texts of his mature period of the 1890s, which  will serve as an invaluable resource for those interested in the  historical development of evolutionary biology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792360674\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9381-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378517074060,"sku":"9780792360674","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792360674.jpg?v=1772024511","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792360674","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
