[PatrickHenry]

The review says that the author, Nicholas Wade, has been a science reporter for the New York Times since 1982. (I know, I know ...)

Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 370 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

Seems to me Wade has been writing for the Times a lot longer than that. I met him in the early 70's, assuming it is the same fellow.

Derbyshire's adherance to evolution is the one area in which he sorely disappoints me.

Such a bright guy to have so profoundly lost his way on common sense thinking!

[hispanarepublicana]

There is no way to know for certain the nature of the interaction between the two human species. It is unlikely to have been pleasant.

Perhaps they should've offered up some Roast Duck with Mango Salsa.

[RadioAstronomer]

Off to the lab placemarker as well.

[Fractal Trader]

Pings for your list?

[ASA Vet]

Thanks for another interesting read.

[Dimensio]

Have you considered that perhaps it is those without common sense who reject evolution?

[Jack Black]

Interesting. I'm reading Godless right now, but have not got to the debunking evolution part yet.

Thanks Fractal Trader.

From the extraordinary length of the process — a border war that took 15,000 years to move across Europe — it is evident that they did not yield easily.

No, it is evident that it didn't happen that way.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

[Dimensio]

I was unaware that Ann Coulter actually debunks evolution in Godless.

[ASA Vet]

She didn't.
To state she did was merely an attempt to derail the thread and get the usual tread killing crap going.

[Dog Gone]

I'm tempted to buy the book, but this dude writes for the New York Times!

Has anyone here actually read it? I'd like a recommendation before laying out the cash.

[Anne of DC]

Ahem!

[mtbopfuyn]

He forgot the group, homo eRATectus who've yet to evolve much in the last few thousand years.

[colorado tanker]

Thanks for the ping. Good GGG stuff.

Like certain fungi, they have no environmental pressure to evolve. Democrats merely live off the work of the productive.

Democrats are a near perfect disease really. They seldom make their hosts so sick they can't sponge off of them. Just wounded enough that there is plenty of dying flesh to eat.

Only when the disease becomes more Progressive to more malignant socialism is it always fatal.
