You know, if you read the lead article carefully instead of looking for isolated "gotcha" soundbites, it is very much affirming Lewontin's view of genetics. Changes to a few regulatory genes produce drastic effects, leaving much of the genome conserved in working order. Much more of the story is in the regulatory genes than in the proteins themselves.
Neither Lewontin nor Gould discovered this stuff. They may have acted as popularizers and may have used the material to scoff at racism, but that should be OK. The scientific basis is well established by now. This article is just another bit of evidence for a picture that's been building for decades. And we wouldn't want anyone to think the theory of evolution is racist.
"Gotcha" soundbites? Please...This was a huge part of their anti-genetic, left-wing driven, Lysenkoist agenda. As a matter of fact, back in the 80s I debated Gould about just this subject and said to him then that I thought the most variation would be found in the regualtory genes. I was right and he was wrong.
I do not have much patience for people who subvert science for their personal political agendas no matter where they come from on the political spectrum.
