Who am I?

John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

That's insulting to monkeys.

But thanks for their names.

Very funny, but I'm with David Stove, author of Darwinian Fairytales." If you are so sure of Darwinian thought to explain human activity, please explain if any of you have bred to the fullest capacity possible, and are doing so because you fear starvation through Malthusian mechanisms if you don't. Any of you really feel your activity is best explained by your genes ordering you around as Mr Dawkins thinks?

mark leo, in order to replicate, our genes have made sex enjoyable, so that even if we didn't want to have children we would have them anyway as a result of enjoying sex so much. However we don't "breed to the fullest" because we can now enjoy sex, and thanks to birth control we don't have to have children, unless we want to.

Dawkins is not a simplistic determinist.

As proprietor of 'Scientific Republican' ,I must protest this

vile canard-- our bumper sticker, copyright to be registered , reads: "Raise your tail if you don't believe in evolution"

This clip might be old news, but it's oddly appropriate and completely bananas, literally.
