Science magazine is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. According to one regular 'evo' here on FR, the AAAS is a political organization and has little to do with science.... Scientists are politically motivated in one area (GW) but not politically motivated in any other areas, especially regarding evolution? Does anyone else have a problem with this?

Of course. Several AAAS presidents were also members of the American Eugenics Society, and many more AAAS members were also AES members, and so on. Bentley Glass was both president of AAAS and director of AES in the sixties. David Hamburg was director of AES from 1989-1991 and president of AAAS 1984-85. Hamburg was president of Carnegie Corporation, which financed Davenport's ERO (Eugenic Record Office) and his Station for Experimental Evolution. So of course the AAAS has a political interest in promoting darwinism. So did all the eugenics societies, starting with Huxley's.

This political interest wouldn't influence the reports and findings in, let's say, Science magazine, would it?

Or, what wasn't reported?

Or, how easy it would be to dissent from the "proven" worldview?

Naah...
