[lbo-talk] Darwinian evolution only part of story?

[Joseph Catron]

"JUST suppose that Darwin's ideas were only a part of the story of
evolution. Suppose that a process he never wrote about, and never even
imagined, has been controlling the evolution of life throughout most of the
Earth's history. It may sound preposterous, but this is exactly what
microbiologist Carl Woese and physicist Nigel Goldenfeld, both at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, believe. Darwin's explanation of
evolution, they argue, even in its sophisticated modern form, applies only
to a recent phase of life on Earth."
