Abstract
Gould (1980) claims that a “new and general theory of evolution” is emerging. He examines the modern synthesis and asserts that it is being rejected by present day evolutionary biologists. The purpose of this note is to show that Gould's view of the modern synthesis is distorted. Any rejection of the modern synthesis must rest on a more balanced characterization than that presented by Gould.Keywords
