Huxley's 1942 book Evolution: The Modern Synthesis therefore, argued Largent, suggested that the so-called modern synthesis began after a long period of eclipse lasting until the 1930s, in which Mendelians, neo-Lamarckians, mutationists, and Weismannians, not to mention experimental embryologists and Haeckelian recapitulationists fought running battles with each other.
Por tanto, o libro de Huxley de 1942 Evolution: The Modern Synthesis, segundo argumentou Largent, suxería que a denominada síntese moderna empezou despois dun longo período de eclipse que durou ata a década de 1930, no cal os mendelianos, neolamarckistas, mutacionistas e weismannianos, por non falar de embriólogos e recapitulacionistas Haeckelianos batallaban entre eles.
