SOME advocates of neoDarwinian evolution believe in this "sociobiology",
but the field is not looked upon favorably by most "hard" scientists in
other biological disciplines. To say MOST evolutionists believe in what
the sociobiologists tout is grossly misleading. Please don't paint us all
with such a broad brush.
Hi Steve,
I do applaud you biologists who are breaking the mold and questioning the
rigid orthodoxy of neo Darwinism. It must have taken some courage, at least
at first. I advocate tolerance of all opinions, including those of young
earth creationists, and am confident that out of this diversity of beliefs a
good approximation of the truth will emerge. I suspect one gets a one sided
view on the internet, and am happy to know progress is being made. I
apologize to all those biologists offended by any generalizations I make,
and wish you could be as vocal as Dawkins and his supporters.
