Progresso, Complexidade, Organização corporal, Evolução, FósseisResumo
A ideia da existência de uma tendência dos organismos ao progressivo aumento de complexidade da organização corporal já se fazia presente em tempos anteriores ao evolucionismo. Com a aceitação das teorias evolutivas, vários naturalistas, e especialmente aqueles que trabalhavam com fósseis, passaram a defender a ocorrência de tal tendência no processo evolutivo. Essa nova forma de abordar a ideia de progresso na natureza recebeu várias interpretações até o momento do surgimento da síntese evolutiva moderna, que pouco espaço deixou para a existência de outro elemento orientador da evolução, que não fosse aquele proposto por Darwin.Downloads
