Maciej Giertych states in Correspondence (Nature 444, 265; 2006): "I believe that, as a result of media bias, there seems to be total ignorance of new scientific evidence against the theory of evolution." However, he does not refer to one publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal to support the existence of any such "new scientific evidence"; nor has he himself published any.
