If Darwin were to come back today, what would he think of the way that analysis of DNA sequences is playing an ever-increasing role in the way we study evolution? He would probably be absolutely delighted with molecular evolutionary genetics, for three reasons.
Firstly, it solved one of the greatest problems for his theory of evolution by natural selection. Secondly, it gives us a tool that can be used to investigate most of the questions he found the most fascinating. And thirdly, DNA data confirm Darwin's grand view of evolution.
