Beak of the Finch ?

There are just so much data out there.

But the Peppered Moth story was an example of natural selection in action if anything.

But perhaps some details ?

I just read a review in Nature of the book
Melanism: Evolution in Action by Michael E. N. Majerus Oxford University
Press: 1998. 338 pp. £55, $105 (hbk), £23.95, $45 (pbk)

It now appears certain that the Peppered Moth story, that venerated
textbook example of evolution in action is finally going to have to be
revised or thrown out of biology textbooks. My question is, what are thay
going to replace it with?????
