The Problem With Evolutionary Theory
The book is developed in two parts. One was written by Peteli and the other one was written by Fodor. They are saying that all of these recent knowledge about the way gene networks work increases our awareness of how much constraint there is on evolutionary living organisms. None of that sounds like a rebuttal of the fact that evolution occurs though, but none of that is unknown to evolutionary biologists. Natural selection can actually get accelerated by genetic constraints. That's not controversial, it's pretty mainstream science. And nobody thinks that this somehow opposes the problem for the theory of natural selection.
