I think Gould and Lewontin allowed their Marxism to influence their science.

Good point. And ironic when you consider Dawkins is considered the opponent of Lewontin and Gould since he frequently held the anti-marxist position (good luck explaining that to jwalsh though).

That's the funny thing; they lump all evos into the same group, without being aware that Gould+Lewontin+Rose vs. Dawkins+Wilson+most of the rest of biology was one of the great knock-down, drag-out, 15-round battles of the 20th century.
