Biological evolution is a factâbut the many conflicting theories of evolution remain controversial even today. When Adaptation and Natural Selection was first published in 1966, it struck a powerful blow against those who argued for the concept of group selectionâthe idea that evolution acts to select entire species rather than individuals.
