His books, especially those on scientific controversies, have been roundly rejected. Milton is shunned in the field of evolution as he is a neo-Lamarckian who has supported the experiments of Paul Kammerer.
The Facts of Life was met with intense criticism from many mainstream academic reviewers.
Reviewing it in the New Statesman, Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins described it as "twaddle that betrays, on almost every page, complete and total pig-ignorance of the subject at hand". Milton"s claims have been criticised as pseudoscience by philosophy professor Robert Carroll.
Milton appeared on The Mysterious Origins of Manitoba, a television special arguing that mankind has lived on the Earth for tens of millions of years, and that mainstream scientists have suppressed supporting evidence. Milton"s claims on the age of mankind have also been criticised for scientific inaccuracy.
