      Looks like the claims from the 2011 paper the OP author is LOL-ing about were revisited in 2014 where Gould's case against Morton was vindicated.

      AFAICT that has been the latest word on the "controversy".

        Revisit by philosopher, yes!!

        He can say what he wants, but does he have authority of expert in field? Answer: no!!!

          Philosopher of science who specializes in biology.

            From experience, philosophers of science who specialize in fields often have pretty significant backgrounds in said field.

            David Albert (Columbia) is a philosopher of physics with a PhD in theoretical physics.

              p good outline of how weak gould's case was and how the original assessment of his work was accurate. it also outlines how gould's statements themselves have been grossly blown out of proportion. anti-raycissm activists think he put a stake in the scientific racism vampire when in reality he just accused morton of some small unconscious bias.

                the paper linked by beagle does requires no biological knowledge whatsoever and barely enters the realm of math. it's almost entirely philosophical.

                  LOL! What an incredibly stupid thing to claim. It's obvious you didn't even bother to look at the contents of the paper.
