Abstract

Darwin did not specify: “Species”. Darwin did not know the difference between “Phenotypic and Genotypic features”. “Natural Selection” cannot produce new species. Spontaneous mutations do not exist. Mutants have no offspring. Darwin did not make tests to confirm his theory. Evolution, with natural selection, is neither about the Origin of Life, nor about New Life but is about the Optimal Preservation of all existing living creatures.
