Real-World Data and the Lesson of Chloroquine Resistance
The take-home lesson is that evolution, on its best day, is an embarrassingly anemic process.
New Study in Nature Showing “Non-Random” Mutation Spells Trouble for Neo-Darwinism
The study was able to directly measure mutations after they occurred in the plant but before mutations could have been affected by natural selection.
NYU Scientists Confuse Artificial Selection with Darwinism
It should be obvious: if you are controlling the mutations and selecting the outcomes, you are not doing Darwinism.
Studies on Cichlid Fish Demonstrate the Predictive Power of Engineering Models for Adaptation
Cichlid variation do not primarily originate from random mutations but from engineered systems.
For Dreams of Darwinian Evolution, First Rule of Adaptive Evolution Is an Insuperable Problem
Professor Lenski’s contrasting of the frequency versus importance of evolutionary changes is misconceived and his illustrations are inapt.
