In this chapter, we make some general comments about the nature of scientific explanation and use them to contextualize recent debates within evolutionary biology about the adequacy of what is sometimes termed standard evolutionary theory. These comments serve to introduce the aims of the book and we then summarize the chapters to follow, relating them to the opening themes.
