countered the exact opposite results to those in the forest

area with high pollution, recapturing 12.5% of the typicals
compared to 6.3% of the melanics. 270
Kettlewell thought these statistics were adequate to con-
firm the thesis, and announced the results of his research
with enormous excitement.
Evolutionist circles lost no time in backing Kettlewell's
research. Scientific American magazine broadcasted the

study in an article titled "Darwin's Missing Evidence." Such

was the importance ascribed to the subject that it soon be-
came one of the fundamental examples in evolutionist liter-
ature.
The Industrial-Revolution moths are still touted as the
No. 1 piece of evidence for Darwinism, despite the passage
of the intervening half century. Several evolutionists after
Kettlewell repeated the experiment (for example, Clarke
272
and Sheppard in 1966, ; Bishop in 1972, 273 Lees and Creed
in 1975, 274 Bishop and Cook in 1975, 275 Steward in 1977, 276
277
and Murray and his team in 1980 ),
However, this whole tale is invalid. Together with the er-
rors of the research results mentioned above, the Industrial
Revolution moths gained nothing at all for the theory of
evolution.
