Evolution and Evolutionism - Is There a Spandrel?

Steven jay gueld and Richard leuinton wrote a famous paper in which they argued that evolutionary biologists had gotten carried away with themselves. Their fears were not only oh blown but actually uh essentially sabotage of evolutionary theory, says Peter Hitchens. The way evolution works there should not be very many spandrels because it tends to eliminate inefficiencies so when we see a structure worthy of discussion it tends to be an adaptation and not a spandrel," he adds.
