What's in a name? For supporters of the theory of "intelligent design" (ID), a great deal. They argue that the complexity of our universe is best understood as the result of an intelligent cause rather than the undirected process of natural selection described by Charles Darwin, and they want to see this taught in public school science classes. The amusing title of Edward Humes nonfiction title Monkey Girl, is a riveting account of one of the evolution vs. ID battles being waged in school boards across America. (Washington Post)

It's considerably less amusing when one reads the book and learns that it was among the taunts hurled at the young daughter of one of the plaintiffs by her schoolmates.
