Why is Darwin in there? Everything in his model of evolution has failed. He's just a popularizer of evolution.

In Origin he actually acknowledges, though not too deeply, several of natural selection's failures to explain evolution entirely. And it seems unlikely that "everything" in his model has failed. Why Only Us by Chomsky/Berwick point out several of these failures in good detail, esp. with reference to language. But Darwin/Wallace were right on some pretty big things as far as I can tell, but I welcome your argument contrariwise.
