Delisle, and “Unity and Disunity in Evolutionary Biology: Deconstructing Darwinism,” edited by Richard G. Delisle, Maurizio Esposito, and David Ceccarelli. Currently, he teaches “Evolution” at the Faculty of Sciences, UNAM, and is a researcher recognized by the National System of Researchers (SNII) under SECIHTI in Mexico.
