Luria–Delbrück, revisited: the classic experiment does not rule out Lamarckian evolution
We re-examined data from the classic Luria–Delbrück fluctuation experiment, which is often credited with establishing a Darwinian basis for evolution. We argue that, for the Lamarckian model of evolution to be ruled out by the experiment, the experiment must favor pure Darwinian evolution over both...
