 Lamarck's
Signature : How Retrogenes Are Changing Darwin's Natural Selection
Paradigm (Frontiers of Science (Perseus Books)) by
Edward J. Steele, Robyn A. Lindley, Robert V. Blanden, Paul Davies.
"The
evidence for a Lamarckian mechanism at work in the immune system now seems
very convincing, contradicting one of the main dogmas of Darwinian
biology. This book presents the experimental evidence to date as to how
adaptive immune responses may be incorporated into the DNA of the
organism, thus making them heritable material. If the retrogene mechanism
is at work in the immune system what other roles might it be playing in
evolution? A huge question for our current understanding of evolution."

Online biography by Peter Landry at blupete.com. Excerpt:
Darwin is the first of the evolutionary biologists, the originator of the concept of
natural selection. His principal works, The Origin of the Species by Means of
Natural Selection (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871) marked a new
epoch. His works were violently attacked and energetically defended, then; and, it seems,
yet today. Darwin's work is today accepted by all competent biologists; it is supported by
hard evidence; the only critics are the creationists and they have absolutely no evidence
to support their position. |
