Page 27 - If Darwin Had Known about DNA

In advancing his theory,
Charles Darwin could
not account for the vari-
ety of species. In any
case, he would have not been unable to, being ignorant of DNA. Darwin
knew neither genetics, nor biomathematics nor microbiology–branches of
science that emerged only after Darwin's death. He made illusory deduc-
tions based on the limited means at his disposal and on visible similari-
ties among living things. Since the above branches of science had not
yet emerged, he had no opportunity to investigate the cell. The period in
which the claims of the theory of evolution were put forward is therefore
important in terms of our seeing the dimensions of the ignorance con-
cerned.
