Are evolutionists going to repudiate Darwinism? And if not Darwinism, What is a better term? Jay Gould said the "dirty little secret of paleontology is Darwin got it wrong". But getting the ToE establishment to agree is like pulling teeth. Won't happen. Because Darwin is a god to them.

Gould didn't think neo-Darwinism was the be all but he made it clear that evolution its self was not to be questioned whatever the actual means.

That's a very cool cover although its a bit odd the way he's holding that horn.
>>Jay Gould said the "dirty little secret of paleontology is Darwin got it wrong". But getting the ToE establishment to agree is like pulling teeth. Won't happen. Because Darwin is a god to them.<< I don't know if Professor Gould used those exact words but he did work on something called punctuated equilibrium that differed from Darwin's view. Gould felt that evolution moved in relatively faster bursts at times.
But there are lots things that Darwin didn't know or got wrong - this is yet another reason to use a term like developmental or evolutionary biology - "Darwinism" hasn't been a science since the 1930's.
