Indeed. Everytime I hear someone talking about natural selection
/ tree of life, I cringe a little bit 'cause it's more like a
bush of life that keeps meandering along the ground, some shoots
getting flowers, some producing fruits, some becoming
evergreens, the root systems breaking off into clusters and
different nutritional requirements.. and all and all not the
neat and clean story of Darwin, which was fine for its day, but
so was phrenology for its day.
