Evolving Daisies

With regard to his letter on creationism [July], I would draw Renton MacLachlan's attention to an article in News and Views in Nature, 14 March 1966. This article gives an account of a historically witnessed example of evolution by natural selection.

The full reference is J.M. Diamond, "Daisy gives an evolutionary answer", Nature, 14 March 1996, pp103-104.
