Natural Selection Consensus Development
The consensus on the scientific validity of Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection varies even between evolution scientists.
Richard Dawkins, perhaps the most famous advocate of evolution in the twenty-first century, explained that natural selection represents a “non-random survival of randomly varying hereditary instructions” in the article “The Illusion of Design,” published in the Natural History Magazine.
While Dawkin’s explanation of natural selection is widely popular, a consensus amongst evolution scientists remains a contentious issue.
