Abstract the case of industrial melanism in the peppered moth has been used as a teaching example of darwinian natural selection in action for half a century however over the last decade this casehas come under attack from those who oppose Darwinian evolution here the main elements of the case are outlined and the reasons that the peppered moth case became the most cited example of Darwinianevolution in action are described four categories of criticism of the case are then evaluated criticisms of experimental work in the 1950s that centered on lack of knowledge of the behavior and ecologyof the moth poor experimental procedure , or artificiality in experimenst have been addressed in subsequent work. Some criticisms of the work are ahown to be the result of lack of understanding ofevolutionary genetics and ecological entomology on the part of the critics accusations of data fudging and scientific fraud in the case are found to be vacuous the conclusion from this analysis ofcriticisms of the case is thar industrial melanism in the peppered moth is still one of the clearest and most easily understood examples of Darwinian evolution in action and that it should be taught assuch in biology classes keywords industrial melanism bird predation evolution in action natural selection genetic polymorphism peppered moth biston betularia
