Re: Dredge: yes? Nested Hierarchies = kinds = clades
Here's the article.
Onward and Upward?
It's actually quite sensible and the only thing it disagrees with is the old naive assumption that evolution automatically leads to increased complexity at every step. It does not, however, give any reason to think that evolution cannot produce increased complexity - quite the opposite. The discussion of ammonites is a case in point.
Of course Dredge has probably never read it.
Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.
