Nature: Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?
#5
RE: Nature: Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?
Another 'revolution' that isn't. The modern synthesis (neo-Darwinism) takes those kinds of processes into account.

This is just refining, not overturning. I wish people would quit with the "Well, Darwin didn't know X; Oh, Darwin got Y wrong".

So what?

What Darwin did was to identify, explain, and provide evidence for the basic algorithm that is the heart of evolution. That was his brilliant, hard-worked for contribution.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
