"Get Rid of Darwinism"
Not only beautiful but very clever gal...
JimB "Let's Get Rid of Darwinism "Olivia Judson July 15, 2008 "I'd like to abolish the insidious terms Darwinism, Darwinist and Darwinian. They suggest a false narrowness to the field of modern evolutionary biology, as though it was the brainchild of a single person 150 years ago, rather than a vast, complex and evolving subject to which many other great figures have contributed. (The science would be in a sorry state if one man 150 years ago had, in fact, discovered everything there was to say.) Obsessively focusing on Darwin, perpetually asking whether he was right about this or that, implies that the discovery of something he didn't think of or know about somehow undermines or threatens the whole enterprise of evolutionary biology today. It does not." More at Http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/2008...rwinism&st=cse See also http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/13/op...iKi+SN9JM55gHA |
