Good article.

Looks like the soft sciences (biology, genetics, etc.) are taking over from the hard sciences (paleontology, geology, etc.).

At least paleontologists, geologists and archaeologists aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty!

Biology isn't a soft science. Just squishy. It's not as austere as physics and astronomy, but I regard it as one of the "hard sciences."

Neither do farmers.



Don't ask me, I don't know...

All of what you mention are Nerf sciences. Hard sciences are physics, computer science, etc.
