dhw: Darwin's mechanisms are random mutations followed by natural selection. You and I have long since rejected random mutations, and have agreed that natural selection only preserves changes that have already taken place. I'll be very interested to know what new ideas he brings to the table.-Denton in my current reading points out that Darwin's theory requires that natural stress is required for tiny adaptations to appear, so natural selection can act on them. I'm not to new ideas yet as he is simply picking Darwin apart, and quoting others (i.e. Gould) who have done the same. Macroevolution is a huge problem for Darwin.
