- Abstract
The article presents an opinion and a counter opinion on the evolutionary theory. One group of researchers say that in the absence of an extended evolutionary framework, key processes are neglected. The other group assert that evidence is accommodated by theory through continuous synthesis. Topics include scientist Charles Darwin, developmental bias, extended evolutionary synthesis (EES), standard evolutionary theory (SET), cichlid fishes and commodore butterflies.
