Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis Audiobook (Free)

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 describe the history of life. He argues that there continues to be “an amazing consilience of evidence for rejecting Darwinian cumulative selection as the major driving force of evolution.” From the foundation of lifestyle to the foundation of human language, the fantastic divisions in the organic order are still as serious as ever, and they are still unsupported by the series of adaptive transitional forms forecasted by Darwin. Furthermore, Denton makes a provocative fresh discussion about the pervasiveness of nonadaptive order throughout biology, purchase that can’t be explained with the Darwinian mechanism.
