The historian William Provine has also described the Synthesis as a constriction – while combining various biological subfields, the architects also rejected several alternative theories of evolution. Hey I may as well share what I sent to you earlier so people can butcher it ;). DOI: 10.2307/2408842; Pigliucci M, Müller GB (2010) Evolution: The Extended Synthesis. The most comprehensive framework for the Extended Synthesis is the Major Transitions in Evolution.

Well only time will tell, but again, one thing is certain, and that is, the modern synthesis as taught now is a house of cards.

Will the new paradigm as in the proposed extended synthesis (ala the Altenberg 16) answer the questions that need to be answered? I'll cite one of many articles that speak of its demise. 3 Responses to The extended evolutionary synthesis and the role of soft inheritance in evolution. I managed to snag a copy of Evolution—The Extended Synthesis[1] from the University science library. Müller, editors, Evolution – The Extended Synthesis, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2010.
