[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]During my years as a physical science undergraduate and biology graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, I believed almost everything I read in my textbooks. I knew that the books contained a few misprints and minor factual errors, and I was skeptical of philosophical claims that went beyond the evidence, but I thought that most of what I was being taught was substantially true. As I was finishing my Ph.D. in cell and developmental biology, however, [b]I noticed that all of my textbooks dealing with evolutionary biology contained a blatant misrepresentation[/b]: Drawings of vertebrate embryos showing similarities that were supposed to be evidence for descent from a common ancestor. But as an embryologist I knew [b]the drawings were false.[/b] Not only did they [b]distort the embryos they purported to show, but they also omitted earlier stages in which the embryos look very different from each other.[/b] My assessment of the embryo drawings was confirmed in 1997, when British embryologist [b]Michael Richardson and his colleagues published an article in the journal Anatomy and Embryology, comparing the textbook drawings with actual embryos. Richardson was subsequently quoted in the leading American journal Science as saying: "It looks like it's turning out to be one of the most famous fakes in biology."[/b] Yet most people remain unaware Of the truth, and even [b]biology textbooks published after 1997 continue to carry the faked drawings[/b]. Since then, I have discovered that [b]many other textbook illustrations distort the evidence for evolution, too.[/b] At first, I found this hard to believe. How could so many [b]textbooks contain so many misrepresentations for so long?[/b] Why hadn't they been noticed before? Then I discovered that other biologists have noticed most of them, and have even criticized them in print. [b]But their criticisms have been ignored.[/b] The [b]pattern is consistent, and suggests more than simple error[/b]. At the very least, it suggests that [b]Darwinism encourages distortions of the truth[/b]. How many of these distortions are unconscious and how many are deliberate remains to be seen. But the result is clear: [b]Students and the public are being systematically misinformed about the evidence for evolution.[/b] This book is about that evidence. To document it, I quote from the peer- reviewed work of hundreds of scientists, most of whom believe in Darwinian evolution. When I quote them, it is not because I want to make it sound as though they reject Darwin's theory; most of them do not. I quote them because they are experts on the evidence. Wherever possible, I have avoided technical language. For those who want more details, I include extensive notes at the end of the book referring to the scientific literature. The notes are not intended to be exhaustive (except where they list sources of quotations), but to aid readers who want to pursue matters further. The chapters are followed by two appendices. The first critically evaluates ten widely-used biology textbooks, from the high school to the graduate level. The second suggests warning labels, like those used on packs of cigarettes, that schools might want to place in their teaching materials to alert students to the misrepresentations. Many people were kind enough to review and comment on the manuscript. Those who assisted me with technical details in the indicated sections or chapters include: Lydia McGrew (Introduction); Dean Kenyon and Royal Truman (The Miller-Urey Experiment); John Wiester (the Cambrian explosion, in The Tree of Life); W. Ford Doolittle (molecular phylogeny, in The Tree of Life); Brian K. Hall (Homology); Ashby Camp and Alan Feduccia (Archaeopteryx); Theodore D. Sargent (Peppered Moths); Tony Jelsma (Darwin's Finches); Edward B. Lewis (genetics of triple mutants, in Four-winged Fruit Flies); and James Graham (human origins, in The Ultimate Icon). Listing these people here does not imply that they endorse my views. On the contrary, many of them will disagree with my conclusions and recommendations. But for these fine people, science is the search for truth, and I am indebted to them for helping me get the facts straight, Of course, any errors that remain are my fault, not theirs.
