Mathematical challenges to the Neo-Darwinian

interpretation of evolution

This book reports the proceedings of a Symposium attended both by mathematicians and biologists in the hope of some useful exchange of ideas. The title is really a misnomer; since only three of the seven papers discuss possible difficulties in Neo-Darwinian theory. The remainder are concerned rather with the mathematical information of the theory than with its validity.

It is regrettable that the mathematicians who presented papers were so ill-informed on the current state of biological thought and experimentation. As a result they either neglected relevant facts or merely rediscovered well-known results. Thus Dr. Eden argued that evolutionists explain away difficulties by assigning arbitrary values to unknown parameters, such as intensity of selection. In fact, a great deal is known about the value of such parameters in present-day natural populations, and this certainly influences our view about the value (that) these parameters had in the past.
