Summary:
More than thirty years after his landmark reserve Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), biologist Michael Denton revisits his earlier thesis about the inability of Darwinian evolution to explain the annals of existence. He argues that there continues to be “an amazing consilience of evidence for rejecting Darwinian cumulative selection as the main driving power of advancement.” From the origin of lifestyle to the foundation of human vocabulary, the fantastic divisions in the organic order are still as deep as ever, and they are still unsupported with the group of adaptive transitional forms forecasted by Darwin. Furthermore, Denton makes a provocative new discussion about the pervasiveness of non-adaptive order throughout biology, order that cannot be explained from the Darwinian mechanism.
