RE: Test your knowledge of evolutionary theory

Fri, 11 Dec 1998 13:11:10 -0800Art: It is evolution as a theory that is the joke. Tell me about the most oft
cited example of evolution in action in every textbook of biology in
America, the peppered moth, that now is going to have to be red-facedly
removed from the textbooks. How long can biologists continue to hail as
supreme a throry that can't even get the primal story right? And that when
the truth about the problems with the peppered moths were known to many
insiders for thirty years or more.
So what ? There are plenty of other examples. That the example was used and now shown to be less than perfect only serves to undermine your position.
So did you have anything relevant to add or was this just meant to vent some personal frustation ?
