The fallacy of extrapolation occurs when a phenomenon responsible for a number of trivial local effects is read into the great global phenomena. For example, Darwin's theory of evolution makes use of a fantastic extrapolation in which the mechanisms of random variation and natural selection are declared to account for the development of such complex structures as the mammalian eye or the immuno-defense system.[1]
