Wells, yes....
I have read his propaganda tome and several essays and such by him. He seems to think that, among othert things, since moths are sometimes glued on tree trunks for photo ops, the entire example (of natsel in action) is rebutted.
That is, because moths are not normally glued to tree trunks in the wild, the whole thing is a hoax.
Interesting that.
Especially when we consider the experiments done that resulted in Wells' 2 co-authored original research papers in his 10+ years at Berkeley.
He removed the nuclei from frog eggs.
Now, maybe it is just me, but I don't think that nuclei leave frog eggs in nature.
Therefore, Wells engaged in a big hoax in gfrad school.
Oh, the shame of it all!
