Denton’s prior fitness argument: Everything seems to have come together to produce humans

But didn’t Freeman Dyson (1923–2020) say, “The more I examine the universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming.” The idea isn’t new; there’s just much more evidence for it.

Another species of “hominin” still alive?

So no one has ever found one of them but we are supposed to take this seriously? Untraceable hominins. Elves, fairies, the Abominable Snowman? So this is all “science” now?

Researchers: Tool patterns show that Neanderthals were declining before Homo sapiens arrived

Researchers: “Based on this evidence, the authors suggest that older Iberian Neandertal populations disappeared, taking their tool styles with them, and were replaced by different Neandertal groups using Châtelperronian tools, likely migrating from France, and these populations were in turn replaced by Homo sapiens.”

What? Paper on human mutation admits to “fundamentally challenging” neo-Darwinism?

But Darwinism about human beings is the bread and butter of pop science media! If that’s under threat now, what will become of, for example, evolutionary psychology?
