Was Darwin Wrong?

Kappale pitkähköstä ja perusteelliseta artikkelista:
"He was right about evolution, that is. He wasn't right about everything. Being a restless explainer, Darwin floated a number of theoretical notions during his long working life, some of which were mistaken and illusory. He was wrong about what causes variation within a species. He was wrong about a famous geologic mystery, the parallel shelves along a Scottish valley called Glen Roy. Most notably, his theory of inheritance—which he labeled pangenesis and cherished despite its poor reception among his biologist colleagues—turned out to be dead wrong. Fortunately for Darwin, the correctness of his most famous good idea stood independent of that particular bad idea. Evolution by natural selection represented Darwin at his best—which is to say, scientific observation and careful thinking at its best."

Siinähän myös kerrottiin, hyvä esimerkki bakteereista, bakteerin elinikä on lyhyt joten evoluutio tai hyödylliset mutaatiot kehittyvät nopeammin, ovat siis selvin todiste evoluutiosta.
Esimerkkinä nyt se tuolla mainittu "sairaala bakteeri" joka on kehittänyt vastustuskyvyn antibiootteja vastaan. Meidän kannalta paska juttu, mutta bakteerille ihan kiva.
Oli Darwin väärässä.
