3 key points of Neo Darwinism-

1. Rapid multiplication.

2. Struggle for existence.

3. Genetic Variations.

The Neo-Darwinian theory includes knowledge of Mendelian and modern molecular genetics. It is, in essence, still the same theory, but refined, expanded to include new understanding.

Mark Frederick Earthey has written:

'A Kuhnian crisis in neo-Darwinism'

Neo-Darwinism is a modern synthesis of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection with Gregor Mendel's theory of genetics. It proposes that evolution occurs through the combination of genetic variation, natural selection, and genetic drift. This theory is widely accepted in evolutionary biology today.
