Modern Darwinism and the Pseudo - Revolutions of Stephen
نویسنده
چکیده
This critique of Gould was originally designed as the final segment of the introduction to my edition of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (2003). The critique was written shortly before the publication of Gould’s last big book, The Structure of Evolutionary Theory (2002). In that book, he recapitulates the ideas and stratagems he had developed over the past three decades: anti-adaptationism, “pluralism,”“punctuated equilibrium,” and “spandrels.”All these topics have already been adequately considered in this critique of his previous work. No good critical purpose would be served by appending a critique of his last book. I discuss Gould’s introduction to Kurtén’s Dance of the Tiger in this vol., part 2, chapter 5.
