uninterested in the theory of punctuated equilibrium, among others, since
his comments come across as a refutation of basic Darwinian evolution rather
than current theory.
Dave!

| The author of this article also reveals science illiteracy at best and bias at worst in describing evolution as positing a "random" force at work in shaping variations. Darwin's theory of descent with modification postulated the principle of natural (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
