Arnhart accuses Mazur of hysterical hatred of evolution, baloney. In real life, the meeting discussed the possibilities for an “Extended Synthesis” in evolutionary biology which incorporates development, evolvability, complexity theory, etc. Nice discussion of topics calling for more research in evolution. He has a forthcoming book titled Evolution: The Extended Synthesis (co-edited with Gerd Muller, M.I.T. Our contemporary understanding of evolution is (1) encompassed by the Modern Synthesis, (2) encompassed by an extended version of the Modern Synthesis (3) at odds with the Modern Synthesis.

Do We Need an Extended Evolutionary Synthesis? She is never hysterical, if anything too mild, and never against evolution. The “extended” or “expanded” synthesis currently called for by neo-Darwinians is Darwinism. Some biologists are calling for a rethink of the rules of evolution". This is the picture that emerges from evo-devo, epigenetics, comparative genomics, and other developments that feed what some researchers are calling the Extended Synthesis of evolution theory. What was really synthesized during the evolutionary synthesis? The modern evolutionary synthesis is also incomplete, because it fails to extend the issues of natural selection in an organism's development to their co-evolutionary partners; the microbes. The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center Although walking on our extended hind limbs is the hallmark adaptation characterizing our species it nevertheless makes us vulnerable to a wide range of serious joint and soft tissue problems.
