[Phaedrus]

"In science's pecking order, evolutionary biology lurks somewhere near the bottom, far closer to phrenology than to physics."

This says it all. But a political science professor is now some sort of authority on Darwinism? Well, at least it's appropriate.

[Phaedrus]

We should keep in mind, I suppose, that the previously most recent "authority" on Darwinism was a New York Times book reviewer. Also appropriate.

And the quote came from a "prominent evolutionary biologist". I'd say that's NYT level reporting.
