Evolution Still a Theory in Crisis
Evolution Still a Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton, published by Discovery Institute Press in 2016, offers a critical examination of Darwinian evolution. In this first edition, spanning 353 pages, Denton revisits his earlier arguments from his landmark work, presenting a case against the adequacy of Darwinian mechanisms to explain the complexity of life. He asserts that significant gaps remain in the fossil record and that the expected transitional forms predicted by Darwin are still absent.
Readers will find a thorough exploration of the origins of life and human language, as Denton emphasizes the profound divisions in the natural order that challenge traditional evolutionary explanations. He introduces a new perspective on the presence of nonadaptive order in biology, suggesting that this order cannot be accounted for by Darwinian selection. This edition provides a detailed analysis for those interested in the ongoing debates within the fields of science and life sciences, particularly regarding evolution.
Official synopsis Publisher
More than thirty years after his landmark book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), biologist Michael Denton revisits his earlier thesis about the inability of Darwinian evolution to explain the history of life. He argues that there remains “an irresistible consilience of evidence for rejecting Darwinian cumulative selection as the major driving force of evolution.” From the origin of life to the origin of human language, the great divisions in the natural order are still as profound as ever, and they are still unsupported by the series of adaptive transitional forms predicted by Darwin. In addition, Denton makes a provocative new argument about the pervasiveness of nonadaptive order throughout biology, order that cannot be explained by the Darwinian mechanism.
