Is it still worth reading?

>> No.13102778

it's been debunked and refuted countless times. not worth reading

Yes, if you're interested in history of science or philosophy of science. Darwin's views on teleology are fascinating

This. Why white males were given funding and allowed to sail around and take notes is beyond me.

yes of course. it's probably the most important book ever published.
also it's very readable. darwin knew he was writing for a general audience. but that doesn't mean it is simplified or dumbed down.
read it together with his chronicle of the voyage of the beagle to get the full picture.

Assuming you follow up by reading 'Mutual aid: A Factor in Evolution' afterwards, yes.

Sympatry is a pathetic idea. That there is a potentially infinite amount of "niches", thus no limit to how many taxa can cohabitate, other than gross spatial ones, is a concession that Darwin is wrong. Trying to play it off with Modern Synthesis is also very ironic, scrambling like Theologians supposedly do. How many Anglos can dance on the grave of a pinhead?

there's not an infinite amount of niches since energy is limited.

monkeys are still monkeys because they dont have the chance to become human, as you know evolution occurs because of gene mutation, but current monkeys cannot do that because how low the population and how restricted the areas. Even if they try to protect them, gene diversity is siginificantly low because of low population. We probably evolved from monkeys when the conditions were right but currently there's no conditions that could replicate what made us a monkey. Even if we would want to replicate it, it would take million years to get results. As you can clearly see the head structure changes as million year passes brain gets bigger basically and face becomes more vertical (looks less like a monkey)
