Charles Darwin’s theory on evolution by natural selection presents the varied links connecting biological facts, and demonstrates the results of these connections, but the theory is a generally misunderstood one in some circles, and in particular amongst fundamentalist believers in the creation story...

Do we need a New Theory of #Evolution?
(The Guardian)

Strange as it sounds, scientists still do not know the answers to some of the most basic questions about how life on Earth evolved. Take eyes, for instance. Where do they come from, exactly? The usual explanation of how we got these stupendously complex organs rests upon the theory of natural selection.

A new wave of scientists argues that mainstream #EvolutionaryTheory needs an urgent overhaul.

When persons refuse to understand how works, they fail to comprehend the profound impact of warmer average temperatures on that have evolved over time to flourish in a relatively stable . With climate changing as rapidly as it is now, it will be extremely difficult for many forms of life to make the evolutionary adjustments to survive, much less thrive.

The main problem with Cross-Cultural Piagetian Studies, according to the recent discussion between Hallpike and Dasen is the lack of evolutionary theroy. That is why, Günter Dux's theory is called Historico-genetic theory, becouse use the genetic strategy of the reconstruction, but facing both the phylogenetic and the historical importance of the human life.
