Entry: What's So Scary About Evolution?--For Both Left and Right, a Lot Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whats_so_scarry_about_evolution#27138 Post contents: Old Atlantic (Brown) steps in it! Francis Crick's degrees were in chemistry, physics, and molecular biology. James Watson's in zoology and genetics, both areas requiring tons of organic chemistry. Their mutual research on DNA was work in organic chemistry. Mendel's academic training was in physics, Darwin's in medicine and physics. Both came before Mendeleev set up the foundation of modern chemistry, and thus well before modern organic chemistry and molecular genetics. And I myself said that Darwin was innocent of Mendelian genetics, and that is exactly for what Berlinski faults him: A theory innocent of any genetics might in fact be quite wanting.
