PRISE

L. G. Deneault,W. M. Kozak,T. S. Danowski on grounds that were explicitly scientific, allowed for the possibility that new species had been created in each geological period. However, if that can be used as a reason for dismissing the catastrophists from consideration as serious scientists, the same should apply to Charles Lyell, the champ

The Erratic Descent of Man,d . Humans, members of the species that has been known as . (“Wise Man”) since the time of Linnaeus, are the only surviving hominids. Pilbeam asked, “Why was the hominoid fossil record misinterpreted, at least by dimmer paleontologists such as me?” Dimness aside (and Pilbeam is anything but dim), there were many reasons.

Let us now go on to consider the implications of this, and of other developments, for evolutionary theory, which we had left in Chapter 3 at around the year 1980.
