Curious that denial of the effects of evolution is the mark of both the extreme right and the extreme left.

@paulg It's simple, really: Prioritizing personal beliefs over observable facts is a core characteristic of all forms of extremism.

@cperciva Perhaps what's going on is that evolution yields so many consequences that at least a few hit any ideologue.

@paulg I was about to say, I'm guessing that the extreme right and the extreme left tend to deny different effects of evolution.

@cperciva The right deny it entirely, the left its effect on behavior.

@paulg @cperciva Wow. Be careful, evolution and behavior is a minefield of psuedoscience and racism.
