On Orthogenesis And The Impotence Of Natural Selection In Species-Formation is a book written by Theodor Eimer in 1897. The book discusses the theory of orthogenesis, which suggests that evolution is driven by internal forces rather than external factors such as natural selection. Eimer argues that natural selection is not sufficient to explain the development of new species, and that there must be some inherent drive within organisms that causes them to evolve in a particular direction. The book also explores the concept of teleology, or the idea that evolution has a predetermined goal or purpose. Eimer's ideas were controversial at the time and were not widely accepted by the scientific community. However, the book remains an important historical document in the study of evolutionary theory.An Address Delivered At The Leyden Congress Of Zoologists, September 19, 1895.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
