Is Neo-Darwinism Enough?
David Sloan Wilson and Denis Noble participate in a dialogue centering around the sufficiency of a neo-Darwinian framework. In this book Wilson and Noble argue the following theses: Professor Wilson: The neo-Darwinian framework provides a reasonably complete and adequate explanation of biological phenomena, including the appearance of teleology in living systems. No new theoretical breakthroughs are either necessary or to be expected. Neo-Darwinism is enough! Professor Noble: The neo-Darwinian framework, however necessary it may be, does not provide a complete and adequate explanation of biological phenomena, especially teleology. New theoretical breakthroughs are both necessary and to be expected. Neo-Darwinism is not enough!
