Evolution by the Numbers: The Origins of Mathematical Argument in Biology
Parlor Press (2011)
Abstract
Wynn examines the confluence of science, mathematics, and rhetoric in the development of theories of evolution and heredity in the 19th century. He shows how mathematical warrants become accepted sources for argument in the biological sciences and explores the importance of rhetorical strategies in persuading biologists to accept mathematical arguments.
