Natural Selection? (Survival of the "fittest", which in pre-conscious evolutionary stages had a natural imperative, but equated mostly to the development of the primary danger/survival responses, the so-called fight/flight and sometimes-referenced reactive response, leading Chopra and others of like mind to posit that 'survival of the fiercest' would be a more appropriate term, and that the evolution of consciousness, giving rise to the evolution of the consciousness of consciousness, may displace the the most evolved "fierce" responses if our species is going to evolve further, citing a shift to a near future where that matter will be one of 'survival of the wisest.' But I may be totally off track, and missed the right answer, but it's still fun giving it a shot. Need a kick in the head to jar loose an inert line of thinking which hasn't been refreshed for a while.)

What do Neo-Darwinists hold on to or believe?

Neo-Darwinism is the modern version of the Darwinian theory of evolution, which incorporates the principles of genetics to explain how inheritable variations can arise by mutation. Darwin did not have any knowledge of modern genetics and this idea puts the two together.

Yes, the evidence from systematics, paleontology, botany and field biology plus the findings of the founders of population genetics.


How is modern genetics evidence of evolution?

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. One of the most important things modern genetics can do is observe this fact of nature by modern evolutionary genetic sequencing of many population genomes.
