Quelle est la spécificité des sciences par rapport à la philosophie et à la religion, de la biologie par rapport aux autres sciences ? Ernst Mayr apporte à cette question fondamentale une réponse décisive avant de distinguer deux grands types de sciences biologiques, les unes s'efforçant d'expliquer les phénomènes du vivant d'après les causes immédiates (c'est le cas de la physiologie, de la biologie moléculaire, etc.), les autres d'après les causes lointaines (c'est le cas de toutes les disciplines biologiques se rattachant à la théorie de l'évolution).
L'auteur expose ensuite les résultats obtenus dans quatre disciplines fondamentales: la systématique, la biologie du développement, l'écologie et la théorie du développement proprement dite, offrant en outre un remarquable résumé des derniers acquis de la paléo-anthropologie.
Très significativement, son dernier chapitre porte sur une question qui aujourd'hui fait l'objet d'un vif débat: la morale peut-elle être fondée sur ce que la biologie nous apprend de l'homme ? Ernst Mayr né en 1904, est l'un des plus grands biologistes du XXe siècle. Il est notamment l'auteur d'une monumentale Histoire de la biologie (Fayard, 1989).
