Denis Noble and David Sloan Wilson agree on much of what is wrong with the Neo-Darwinian synthesis - and they agree that a lot of things are wrong - yet they part ways on whether these problems amount to an outright falsification of Darwinism (Noble's view) or a call for radically reorienting Darwinism (Wilson's view). Wherever one stands on this issue, their exchange provides an accessible and reliable guide to the unsettled state of contemporary evolutionary theory.

Evolution might be as settled a question as any in science. For several decades, how evolution works was similarly portrayed as settled science: Darwinism was the sole credible mechanism, and there was no alternative. The Darwinian idea no longer sits on that throne. But, what is the alternative? In a fascinating dialogue, Is NeoDarwinism Enough? brings together two prominent scientists, David Sloan Wilson, and Denis Noble, to debate the Yea or Nay of the question. Anyone looking for a respectful and balanced exploration of this often contentious question will come away refreshed, better informed, and more fully equipped to decide for themselves.

Public debate over the adequacy and conceptual foundations of the neo-Darwinian synthesis, when it occurs at all, is too often marred by ideology and politics, and more generative of heat than of light. We need dialogue that is not only frank but also civil, reasonable, and well-informed. To that end, Wilson and Noble have made an important contribution.
