Evolution would appear to be the indispensable unifying idea and, at the same time, a highly superfluous one.

O.S. Wilkins, “Evolutionary Processes,” BioEssays (vol. 22, 2000), p. 1052, Quoted by Skell (below)

… my own research with antibiotics received no guidance from insights provided by Darwinian evolution. … I recently asked more than 70 eminent researchers if they would have done their work differently if they had thought Darwin’s theory was wrong. The responses were all the same: “No.”
