The Rise of Chance in Evolutionary Theory: A Pompous Parade of Arithmetic delves into a pivotal juncture in the evolution of evolutionary theory, marked by the profound reliance on a diverse array of chance concepts. This comprehensive account chronicles the methodological and conceptual evolution that revolutionized our understanding of natural selection over a century, spanning from Darwin's early notebooks in the 1830s to the early years of the Modern Synthesis in the 1930s. Contrary to the dismissive label of "pompous parade of arithmetic," as suggested by an early critic, evolution underwent a remarkable transformation during this period, rendering these conceptual and technical tools indispensable. This book serves as a valuable resource for evolutionary biologists, historians, philosophers, and scholars engaged in science studies or biological statistics, charting the role of chance in evolutionary theory from its nascent beginnings to the early days of modern evolutionary theory.
