[lbo-talk] DO KINDER PEOPLE HAVE AN EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE?

[Alan Rudy]

Add this to the ridiculous NYT article about culture influencing evolution
from the other day, alongside the extension of the structure of
anti-evolution legislative efforts into the anti-climate change arena, and
we have more and more evidence of how absolutely little proponents and
opponents of evolution, climate change and science in general understand
evolution, climate change and science in general.
The reductionist pursuit of the straightforward, the cut and dried, and the
simple drives me up a tree.
Yours, feeling increasingly like an angry ape (no tail, like Curious George,
so I'm NOT a monkey),
