Title: Gould and Mayr have formulated the real new kind of science
Review: The author hedges his bet here and takes an orthogenetic and natural selection stance AT THE SAME TIME.I just don't believe him, I'm sure in his case money has a lot to do with it, so that he can sell more copiesof Mathematica, which in the future will contain the secret of life here on earth. What a crock!I thought this reductionist scientific viewpoint went out with the 19th century. It just proves howreactionary the scientific community really is, they're more interested in money and power than the truth.Anyone interested in finding out about the real nature of biological diversity should read " The Structure of Evolutionary Theory" by Stephen Jay Gould. Also, "The Growth of Biological Thought" by Ernst Mayr. Both of these works give you a much deeper appreciation of how inciteful Darwin really was.
