Abstract:

[Perspective article]

Does evolutionary theory need a rethink? Researchers are divided over what processes should be considered fundamental.

YES, URGENTLY — Kevin Laland and colleagues

NO, ALL IS WELL — Gregory A. Wray, Hopi E. Hoekstra and colleagues

Does evolutionary theory need a rethink? Yes, urgently. Without an extended evolutionary framework, the theory neglects key processes, say Kevin Laland and colleagues.
