Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad as Fish" data-source="post: 125306" data-attributes="member: 396">One or two points on the above.HGT is an interesting idea, do you have any examples of where it might have  happened in more advanced life forms than bacteria?I think it unfair to be too critical of Darwin himself, he was expounding new ideas and faced much criticism at the time. If his ideas have proved incorrect then fair enough, that's science after all,  but he has always struck me as a modest fellow who was working to the best of his knowledge, which was a great deal more limited then than it is now.  As it turned out, he created a whole new area of science, his contribution is not to be dismissed lightly.Having said that I would agree entirely that we need much more than Darwinism to explain evolution and the complexity of modern life forms and even with concepts such as HGT we are still probably only scratching the surface.I have read that altruism may be explained through game theory and doesn't immedietly contradict the notion of the selfish gene.</blockquote>
