导火线是对分岔论的批判从去年11月开始,在英国Nature杂志上卷起一场关于现代进化论的论争,目前还在继续进行。在这场论争中,人们可以看到现代进化论中两种思想潮流的尖锐对立,同时,否定进化论的创世说信徒们也参加了论争。论争的导火线是由英国古生物学权威L.Halstead点燃的。他在1980年11月20日Nature杂志的“读者来信”栏发表了下列观点: “英国博物馆1979年的恐龙展览和1980年的人类进化展览不适当地应用‘分岔论分类学’,并企图加以推进。这同认为在进化过程中,原始的‘种’缓慢地变为较高一级的‘种’的逐渐进化说是不相容
The fuse is a criticism of bifurcation Beginning in November last year, a controversy over modern evolution in the British journal Nature is still under way. In this debate, one can see the sharp opposition between the two trends of thought in the modern theory of evolution. At the same time, believers who denied the genesis of evolution say that they also participated in the debate. The fuse of the debate was lit by L.

In a column entitled “Letters from a Reader” in Nature, November 20, 1980, he made the following observations: "The Dinosaur Exhibition at the British Museum in 1979 and the Human Evolution Exhibition 1980 did not properly apply 'bifurcation taxonomy' and attempted This is in agreement with the gradual evolution of the idea that in the course of evolution the primitive species slowly transformed into higher species
