Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piatelli-Palmarini, a distinguished
philosopher and scientist working in tandem, reveal major flaws at
the heart of Darwinian evolutionary theory. They do not deny
Darwin's status as an outstanding scientist but question the
inferences he drew from his observations. Combining the results of
cutting-edge work in experimental biology with crystal-clear
philosophical argument they mount a devastating critique of the
central tenets of Darwin's account of the origin of species. The
logic underlying natural selection is the survival of the fittest
under changing environmental pressure. This logic, they argue, is
mistaken. They back up the claim with evidence of what actually
happens in nature. This is a rare achievement - the short book that
is likely to make a great deal of difference to a very large
subject. What Darwin Got Wrong will be controversial. The authors'
arguments will reverberate through the scientific world. At the
very least they will transform the debate about evolution.
