Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This monograph intertwines the two themes of historiography and evolutionary biology and shows that both activities are analogous in their practices; they are spinning stories about the past and thus constructing the world to suit the present of a given community as well as, if necessary, the construction of its tilting into the future. This book presents the history and methodology of both branches of historical narrative and demonstrates them through case studies. Alongside the activity of historiographers and evolutionary biologists, this text questions whether individual lineages also constitute their world in analogous ways. This book provides a brief characterization of the biosemiotics that seeks to answer the question. It appeals to students and researchers in these cross disciplinary fields.
