About this book
Three attitudes to animal form run through this history of morphology. Russell calls them the functional, the formal and the materialistic, and he sorts thinkers by which one they took. Aristotle, Cuvier and von Baer stand on the functional side, Geoffroy St. Hilaire on the formal. The central dispute is whether function follows from form or form from activity.
Russell, a British zoologist, says plainly that he favours the functional view. He does not attempt a full history, but follows the continuity of the subject from Aristotle to his own day. The volume, illustrated, appeared in London in 1916.
