Your link....."New Scientist" is not a scientific journal and often relies on sensationalizing. Here is an example....
"Darwin Was Wrong"
"New Scientist is
not a
scientific journal. Although its articles are usually well-written and report quite respectable science, it does have a bad habit of
sensationalizing things a little. Often trivial things will be
quote mined to produce a fancy cover and headline. The most controversial being the "Darwin Was Wrong" cover.
[4] This was criticised by many evolutionary scientists in the blogosphere as being potentially misrepresenting scientific discovery.
[5]
In fact the article revealed nothing of the kind,
[6] and the supposed breakthrough on the cover was actually a fairly minor point in regards to changing the
theories of
natural selection — specifically the "tree of life," used by Darwin in developing his theory but now mostly rejected.
Why would any self-respecting magazine do this sort of thing? Firstly, sensationalism sells and most of the
media openly admits it.
[7] Like any other magazine,
New Scientist relies on selling copies in order to remain a profitable business. Secondly, writers
never get the chance to write their own headlines; there are specialist staff writers and sub editors for that. Any evolutionary biologist writing for
New Scientist would have known that the headline was misleading, and would provoke a backlash from those on the front line of the
origins debate, but the headline writers may not have cared."
