Re: STILL Clutching at straws to ignore the reality?
This is very interesting.
I have also noticed that as soon as one begins to read actual population genetic "language" and literature, "too much" is often made of terms such as "spatial and temporal." The entire difference between Fisher and Wright boils out for example, to what these words mean IN DETAIL for each population being modeled.
I have noticed in that case, that Mayr's insistance on allopatric neontology (and hence Gould's subsequent clutching"" to it for Punctuated Equilibrium after criticism from within biology) *Might* ( it is only my hunch) be due to his favoring Wright during a "run-in" with Fisher while he was editor of "EVOLUTION" (the journal) (This is discussed in Provine's book on Sewall Wright
Page Not Found - University of Chicago Press).
