RE: “Don’t change… evolve” – is that so? Three misconceptions about evolution that you might have involuntarily assimilated.

Yes! Thanks for this post! I cannot agree more with you. With your permission I would like to add an example to your article: A common misconception is that Evolution equals "moving forward". "Forward" related to what I ask?

These species "went back" by laying eggs rather than "giving birth to young species", which totally breaks the Dollos Law.
Thanks again for the post! Resteemed and followed :)

Exactly! Also, the example of the lizard that you brought up here could also taken against Dennett's argument about evolution having a definite direction based on characteristics that provide some sort of "absolute" advantage.

Thank you very much for the follow and resteem, @dysfunctional! It is very much appreciated! :-)

You are very welcome :)
