It means a synthesis was created between systematic Biology, population biology, genetics, Paleontology and botany to form the modern theory of evolution by natural selection. Before 1930 all biologists, and other disciplines, were confirmed in evolution but not all were sold on natural selection as the main driver of adaptive change, especially geneticists. By mathematical paraphernalia showing that gradual genetic change over time could drive evolution and a broad agreement among the other branches of biology and earth science we have the modern synthesis, some times called the Neo-Darwinian synthesis.

Why would the world be worse off with the ape theory?

If by 'ape theory' you mean the application of evolutionary theory to the matter of human origins, then it wouldn't. There's no rational reason why a better understanding of our origins and nature would have negative consequences.


How does the cell theory show that Darwin's theory of evolution was incorrect?

It does not. Cell theory is fully compatible with evolutionary theory. Does this mean we know everything about the evolution of cells? No. We say we do not know, not that cell theory shows that evolutionary theory is incorrect. ( except, of course, if you are referring to heritability. This Darwin got wrong, but this is not directly related to cell theory )

Where can you find information about DIT?

The acronym DIT can mean a lot of things. If one means with DIT dual inheritance theory, one could read the book "Culture and the Evolutionary Process", although some foreknowledge would be required. Reading the Wikipedia page on dual inheritance theory would be a good start.

What does it mean when you have a dream about somebody getting kidnapped but most my dreams come true?

There are about a dozen solid, researched and peer reviewed medical and scientific theories on why we dream. Psychosomatic theory, continual-activation theory, dreams as resonance in neural circuits, dreams as excitations of long-term memory and activation synthesis theory are but a few.What's clear is that dreams cannot foresee the future and many times dreams don't mean anything at all.
