Post-Darwinian Evolution
- lutusp 13y agoThe article's title isn't supported by its content. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is in fact the result of natural selection with the aid of random mutations. The difference between this and conventional natural selection is that the random mutations are already present in the bacterial population exposed to the antibiotic. This speeds up the process of natural selection, it doesn't contradict it. There is no such thing as "post-Darwinian evolution". It's link-bait, not a coherent argument.
