Look forward to a lively discussion on ”What Darwin got Wrong”, a book by Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini from the perspective of Jeff Mitton, professor of biology at the University of Colorado. He will address the current state of modern studies of natural selection, and what has been accomplished with artificial selection.
For 17 years, on top of being a professor of biology at CU and having a research program and a full teaching load Jeff Mitton has been a Science Columnist at the Boulder Daily Camera, with a biweekly column entitled “Natural Selections”. He writes columns about the ecology and evolution of the animals and plants that people encounter while hiking in Colorado and the Colorado Plateau.
