• 1) Who’s really the party of Darwin? -- RE: What’s the Fuss: Darwinism vs Neo-Darwinism!? (Facebook/TAS; April 21) -- Where I just noticed that my comment may not be formatted on the Facebook post; therefore I shall repost it herein under with proper formats:
• Somehow my comments to this Spectator article “Who’s really the party of Darwin?” would not stick there-in-under (using DISQUS); I shall now post it herein using Facebook as follows:
• RE: What’s the Fuss: Darwinism vs Neo-Darwinism!?

  I thought your acute definition of Darwinism above -- “Darwin’s theory holds that life is a competition, and that those organisms with the genetic aptitude to prosper, that is the fitness to thrive, are the ones who will “win” this competition and pass on their genes. Over time, the genetic code of a species naturally adapts in accordance with the inherited fitness of their forefathers.” -- is actually that of the “modern synthesis of evolutionary theory” as proposed by the physicalists, reductionists, neo-darwinists evolutionary theory of “biomorphism” (not actually biology, nor developmental genetics, at all by modern definitions) since the 1930s-40s past (please see analyses @ RE: Neo-Darwinism vs Darwinism: Is Modern Synthesis (MS) effectively dead!?).

  Therefore (food for thought) your entire discussion and argument of a neo-darwinist, anthropomorphic “social Darwinism” against the “naturalist Darwinism” or “party of Darwin” above is both irrelevant and misleading at best, scientifically and erudically!?
