Which synthesis of the evolutionary theory fits the facts more closely?

Whats difference?
and it'd better not be some bullshit

God did it, now duck off.

Midern synthesis relies primarily on natural selection as the explanation for current biodiversity, while the extended synthesis considers natural selection to be a major factor, alongside "multilevel selection theory, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, niche construction and evolvability."
Think what Gould proposed.

Quack nigga

evolvability?
The extended one sounds like it has more explanatory power. You wiould have to give me reasons to not like it (Given that i dont know too muhc.)

>evolvability?
As defined by Wikipedia:
Evolvability is defined as the capacity of a system for adaptive evolution. Evolvability is the ability of a population of organisms to not merely generate genetic diversity, but to generate adaptive genetic diversity, and thereby evolve through natural selection.

What's the point of difference between the two? Aren't all of those mechanisms are just natural selection working simultaneously on multiple generations and species?

Probably. Bear in mind, the extended synthesis is meant to be an improvement of the darwinian theory, not a rehash.
