Biologists still unagle to reach/grasp Wallace’s insight: a terrible judgment on science
http://darwiniana.com/2012/01/23/shermer-on-wallace/
The previous post on Wallace by Mike Shermer is important, and we have said as much here, yesterday in fact: claiming wallace for ID is misleading.
However, I think that Shermer fails to see the breakthrough in Wallace (despite some rough spots) that Darwinism has lost: Wallace correctly saw that the brain seems to have evolved/enlarged, not soley as an adaptation, but in manner that created a potential, more than just a functionality. That is a strong hint that there is a directional component in its evolution.
It is remarkable that that the whole of scientific biology cannot manage to assess this falsifying insight of Wallace over a century after his critique of Darwinism.
It is a terrible judgment on science.
