| Description: |
Reveals major flaws at the heart of Darwinian evolutionary theory. Combining the results of work in experimental biology with philosophical argument, this book challenges the central tenets of Darwin's account of the origin of species. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a groundbreaking attack on the most influential scientific orthodoxy of the last 150 years. Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piatelli-Palmarini, a distinguished philosopher and scientist working in tandem, reveal major flaws at the heart of Darwinian evolutionary theory. They do not deny Darwin's status as an outstanding scientist but question the inferences he drew from his observations. Combining the results of cutting-edge work in experimental biology with crystal-clear philosophical argument they mount a devastating critique of the central tenets of Darwin's account of the origin of species. The logic underlying natural selection is the survival of the fittest under changing environmental pressure. This logic, they argue, is mistaken. They back up the claim with evidence of what actually happens in nature. This is a rare achievement - the short book that is likely to make a great deal of difference to a very large subject. "What Darwin Got Wrong" will be controversial. The authors' arguments will reverberate through the scientific world. At the very least, they will transform the debate about evolution. |
