Let the games begin!
LEWONTIN/GOULD/ROSE VS DAWKINS/DENNETT/PINKER

Just so Orr is not the referee (or reviewer), or the fix is in.

Lewontin's politics: I agree with them.

But boy, does he stretch his scientific observations to fit them.

Go, Dawkins!

I was rooting for the Lewontin side also (coming from a Marxist background), but one must accept observation and reality.
Go Dawkins!
