And last but not least, according to most evo devo and even a great many mainstream evolutionary biologist, the modern synthesis is effectively dead as a theory. In real life, the meeting discussed the possibilities for an “Extended Synthesis” in evolutionary biology which incorporates development, evolvability, complexity theory, etc. Will the new paradigm as in the proposed extended synthesis (ala the Altenberg 16) answer the questions that need to be answered? Multilevel Selection and Major Transitions. I'll cite one of many articles that speak of its demise. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press.
