It is true that today's synthetic theory which goes back to Darwin is persistently successful. However it offers no convincing explanation to many questions some examples of which are as follows: What forms of inheritance exist besides genetics; how complex variations especially evolutionary innovations such as bird feathers and turtle shells arise; how the environment affects the evolution of species and is changed by them simultaneously; and why the evolution of birds corals and human culture is not explainable by natural selection alone.
