IST LINE IN THE SAND. “On 13 April 1896, H. F. Osborn gave a lecture at the meeting of the Section of Biology of the New York Academy of Sciences, titled ‘A mode of evolution requiring neither natural selection nor the inheritance of acquired characteristics’. According to the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution, such a mode is possible only as neutral evolution. Adaptive evolution has been explained in neo-Darwinism exclusively via the obligatory role of natural selection.”
