Yesterday, I published a longish article in the Independent on a new Darwin book: What Darwin Got Wrong, by Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini. The book is a heavy polemic against the Modern Synthesis or Neo-Darwinism. Their attack is both philosophcial and scientific and urgently required answering. Many biologists feel that the Modern Synthesis badly needs updating to include the welter of data coming from Evo Devo but What Darwin Got Wrong is way off target. 

Inevitably, What Darwin Got Wrong will be heavily blogged. First off was evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne. Watch this space.
