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#27169 Post contents: Why must you end this very informed piece with a false choice? "Only one view of human nature can be correct. Either we are the ensouled favorites of an omniscient deity; or we are biology and nothing else; or we are biological vehicles for a perfectly plastic uniform essence whose every trait is a consequence of the world immediately around us." My own view is that both biology and culture shape us; it's not just one or the other, and we are a long way from knowing and understanding the proportional role of each and their myriad mechanisms of influence.
