"Reinventing Darwin" is lively and well written. But attentive readers might end up wondering why Mr. Eldredge, a curator in the department of invertebrates at the American Museum of Natural History, is at such pains to distance himself from the ultra-Darwinians.
This is a first-hand account of the discussions going on between biologists of different persuasions. On the one hand are the ultradarwinians, who emphasize the supremacy of the gene and natural selection, and on the other, the naturalists, who focus on whole creatures, rather than on genes.
