paleonet peppered moth



For insight on the peppered moth and its role as an "icon of evolution", see the March/April 2005 issue of Skeptical Inquirer, vol. 29, p. 23-28. The article's authors conclude that the claims of fraud in Kettlewell's original experiments related by Judith Hooper in her 2002 book"Of Moths and Men: the Untold Story of Science and the Peppered Moth" are "moonshine" and "based on a lack of understanding of his experiments and of experimental science in general."
