Sorry if this is all cleared-up but I've been away from the forum on holiday
for almost 2 weeks and have just been catching up today. I saw a long debate
on the rights and wrongs of Darwinism in there somwhere. Surely the facts of
Darwinism are clear, whatever groundwork others did before Darwin, and
however much others have extended its understanding since.
Darwin's undisputed genius was to suggest evolution by natural selection,
survival by fitness for the environment over many generations of the
organism, whatever causes the original novelty (mutation). It took the work
of many to establish speciation mechanisms, genetics etc, but the core fact
is clear. No ?
