The Ingenious Cellular Structure that Keeps Us Alive

In the “just so” stories of the Darwinian narrative, these engineering solutions simply evolved. They emerged and got conserved. Voila! Read More ›

With James Tour, I Have Been Assessing the Evidence for Evolutionary Innovation

The evidence that is most often presented in support of evolution (i.e., the fossil record and homology) fails to meet the criteria for providing confidence. Read More ›
