From Library Journal
With selective evidence and twisted logic, Milton (Alternative Science,
Inner Traditions, 1996) attempts to discredit the concept of organic
evolution. Although raising important questions about interpretation and
methodology, he fails to overturn the neo-Darwinian framework as he
attacks as "myths" the claims of modern science concerning the age of this
planet, the geological column with its fossil record, and even the
biological relationship between the great apes and our own species. He
ignores most of the recent evolutionary literature (especially in
paleoanthropology and primatology), and his chapters are full of dated
illustrations, misleading generalizations, and glaring errors, e.g., "the
evidence for humankind's own evolution is actually nonexistent" and
"Today, 'Java man' is thought to be an extinct, giant gibbonlike creature
and not connected to humans." His own interpretation of earth history
remains ambiguous, leaving the reader to wonder about what hidden motive
underscores this morass of falsehoods. Not recommended.?H. James Birx,

Darwinism" (1997), writes:

Who is David C. Read and why should I trust him more than the Library
Journal? And why highlight a book that's ten years old?
