Just as Darwin wrongly and anti-Darwinistically accepted the inheritance of
acquired characteristics, and we need not accept this as part of a correct
Darwinian view of evolution, so we need not accept there is anything
"inductive" about the Darwinian view of evolution - or how that view was
arrived at or how it is supported - simply because, in common with most of his
time,
Darwin somewhat unthinkingly thought of his work as an exercise in inductive
reasoning.
*Well, I thought that Mendel's research subsequently supported Darwin's views
on the inheritance of acquired characteristics, unless we mean different things
by that term.
O.K.
