The moths not only appeared to evolve dark pigmentation when soot levels rose to darken trees (birds ate the lighter colored ones) then they changed back when new pollution standards were put into effect as the birds ate the dark ones.
It does need more research.
I don't quite get what you are trying to say, this post is incoherent even for you. But I think you are pointing to an article which demonstrates strong evidence for evolution and which comes to a conclusion that evolution is proven and uncontroversial (the issue is whether peppered moths evolved, twice, because of the advantages camoflague bestowed, or whether there were other selection criteria in play).
