This book introduces a new evolutionary model called “Hierarchical Evolutionary-Developmental Theory” or “H-Evo-Devo Theory.” This theory proposes that the organism’s internal properties reflect entities that are highly integrated in developmental terms that evolve hierarchically.

Carlos Ochoa is the author of the books “Forma versus función: historia de la homología y la analogía,” “El Jano de la morfología: de la homología a la homoplasia,” and “El eclipse del antidarwinismo: la historia detrás de la síntesis moderna.” Additionally, he has contributed chapters to the books “Natural Selection: Revisiting its Explanatory Role in Evolutionary Biology,” edited by Richard G. 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.
