Darwinism, Dogma, and Cultural Evolution

Challenging the Neo-Darwinian philosophy, the book critiques the notion that random variation and natural selection alone account for the emergence of order and cultural evolution. It argues that while Universal Darwinism is often perceived as a flawless model, it prioritizes beauty and elegance over factual accuracy and rational discourse. The author contends that this perspective resembles dogma rooted in faith and a desire for simplicity, ultimately distorting the truth rather than presenting a scientific foundation.
