For all I know the Beagles cabin boy or Wallace's porter were the real scientific minds behind evolution theory and the field work involved, and Darwin just grabbed all the limelight and glory. The history books don't suggest that though, and such an idea doesn't mean all the science is any way less meaningful.

Dismissing the voluminous field work of phenology takes some laziness and imagination, but without some fieldwork to back it up, such interpretation of science is meaningless.



wrt the clovis people. re the link...

University of New Mexico anthropologist Lawrence G. Straus, a primary critic of the Solutrean hypothesis, points to the theoretical difficulty of the ocean crossing

Yeah, I expect Captain Cook thought the same thing when he discovered Australia, of course god must have put the natives there, as they didn't know how to build boats. DNA studies will probably put the Clovis people issue to rest.
