“The major novelty of my theory was its claim that the most rapid evolutionary change does not occur in widespread, populous species, as claimed by Most geneticists, but in small founder populations.” DoeTheoryMajorsClaimsSpeciesPopulationFoundersRapidsNovelty Book:Toward a New Philosophy of Biology: Observations of an Evolutionist Source: Toward a New Philosophy of Biology: Observations of an Evolutionist

“Biochemists and biologists who adhere blindly to the Darwinism theory search for results that will be in agreement with their theories and consequently orient their research in a given direction, whether it be in the field of ecology, ethology, sociology, demography (dynamics of populations), genetics (so-called evolutionary genetics), or paleontology. This intrusion of theories has unfortunate results: it deprives observations and experiments of their objectivity, makes them biased, and, moreover, creates false problems.” ProblemGivenResultsKnowledgeFieldsTheoryResearchPopulationExperimentsObservationAgreementUnfortunateEcologySociologyObjectivityGeneticsDynamicsBiasedBiologistIntrusionPaleontologyDemography Author:Pierre-Paul Grasse
“The theory of government I was taught says that government provides benefits, primarily security, to the entire population. In return we pay taxes. But lately the government has been a distributor of special privileges, taking money from some and giving it to others. America is now about evenly split between those who pay income taxes and those who consume them.” GivingHas BeensGovernmentAmericaPaySpecialSecurityTaughtTheoryReturnTaxesBenefitsPrivilegePopulationIncomeSplitsIncome TaxDistributors Author:John Stossel
