At the heart of is the argument that variation, and not natural selection, drives evolution.
It has been an interesting, and somewhat salutary, experience to learn once more how nervous the reporting world is in challenging the scientific establishment. Those approached have said that the general arguments appear sound, but are nevertheless unwilling to review my book, as if nervous of being isolated.
Meanwhile I have allowed my two provisional evolutionary blogs to lie fallow while I pursued all the more conventional avenues. I hope now to start contributing entries more regularly, and to engage readers in discussion as much as possible.
One of the most heartening aspects of attempting to convey a silent gene theory of evolution to is the extremely rapid level of appreciation of the theory amongst the intelligent reading public. For many years I foolishly believed I was the only person in the world who thought that the theory that natural selection drove evolution was highly flawed because it reduced rather than increased variation. Yet almost every person with whom I discuss the theory says they have felt similar doubts about natural selection as an evolutionary theory. It will be interesting to see over the next months whether we can engage with this interested public who, while they accept that natural selection has been the best evolutionary theory on offer, are also discerning enough to be aware of its weaknesses.

hi mister Collins.
mi name is Sarah I'm from Panama and I'm 29 years old.
i have read your computer one novel not too log ago and i love the story and after reading it...i have become even more fascinated with the conflict between sentient species. and after reading your novel, i started to understand even more of why the skynet AI from terminator movies did what it did. and why the AIs in this rpg story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GURPS_Reign_of_Steel also decided that humans are a treat to them just like computer one.
anyway i wish you could email me back and discuss more about conflict between organic and inorganic sentient beings.
my mail is: saintseiya80@hotmail.com
i love your novel so much that i recommend this novel to others 2 friends of mine, one of them already ordered this novel were he live and waiting for it.
do you have a email in order to write to you?
please i really want to discus more about evolution and aggression in inorganic sentient beings and others things about it.
I'm also going to make and article in Spanish and english inspired in your theory about the computer one behavior.
bye bye and merry Xmas and please send me your mail in order to write you.
"For the diffusion of a book throughout the world is almost as difficult and important a task as the making of it"
––Friedrich Schiller, 1794
Shiller made the point over two hundred years ago--he still seems to be right.
Your theory certainly appears reasonable enough to invite open, published discussion as you, the author, wish. May it happen, as justly it should.
