| A primary assumption of the evolutionary model behind neo-Darwinism is that development can be traced back through a series of subtly incremental changes. |
| But neo-Darwinism has also in many cases abandoned proper scientific inquiry. |
| This affords a striking instance of the pernicious influence which neo-Darwinism is exercising on the minds of men to-day. |
| For neo-Darwinism, new functional genes either arise from non-coding sections in the genome or from pre-existing genes. |
| Margulus and Dorian Sagan delve into symbiogenesis, a valid ecological phenomenon, and discard neo-Darwinism. |
| I can't hope to replicate the rigor of her arguments against neo-Darwinism, but I can suggest, with a couple final quotations, what distinguishes her thought. |
