Oh please. Darwin didn’t even believe in his own theory of evolution by the time he died.
Things devolve. not evolve.

They found that the dark coat trait is usually co-inherited with a set of genes that increase size but decrease reproductive success.

Darwin wins again!

if dark sheep were found to be not declining, the scientists would say being large outweighs the decrease in reproductive success. So either way natural selection can’t lose
