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#27280 Post contents: A rat is a rat is a rat. There are populations around the globe, but the differences among rats in Endgland and rats in China is not worth talking about. Perhaps a tiny, isolated rat population on some Pacific atoll will evolve into a new species, but not the rats of the five continents. Why should it be any different for humans? Or at least for humans within any time frame we care to discuss? Maybe a population of pygmies isolated in African jungles for 120,000 years is a little different, but it's unlikely that any other human populations have evolved markedly since the end of the last ice age. They are as equally adapted to their environment as the brown rat. So Boasian theory is not that different from Darwinism. Sent at: 2008 12 01
