Discussion: On Growth and Form

Author: D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson

Description: On Growth and Form by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson examines the mathematical and physical principles underlying the shapes and structures found in nature. Thompson integrates biology, geometry, and physics to explain how biological forms, from animals to plants, grow and evolve. He challenges the traditional Darwinian view, suggesting that growth and form are shaped not only by natural selection but also by physical and mechanical laws.
