The biologist [[Michael Behe]] criticized Richard Lenski's claims concerning his experiment (see: [http://behe.uncommondescent.com/2008/06/multiple-mutations-needed-for-e-coli/ Multiple Mutations Needed for E. Coli] by Michael Behe).

The statistical analysis in Lenski's paper has been criticized for several serious flaws.<ref>See [[Flaws in Richard Lenski Study]].</ref>
