        @sapinker Another case of misunderstood evolutionary theory. Evolution theory seems simple and everyone thinks they know it, but most don't.

        @johnpm @sapinker And there you have it. Most people know nothing about evolutionary theory and they talk about race.

        @Wedtl @sapinker And everything else, evolution has become what religious texts users be, it is been interpreted to mean anything.

        @johnpm @sapinker Nonsense. Evolution remains a scientific theory. It has nothing to do with religion.

        @sapinker I got through about 10 pages of Wade's book before fear of damaging the library's book by throwing it across the room stopped me.

        @sapinker based on what I cold grasp from the reviews, Wade confuses memes with genes, a dangerous mistake.

        @sapinker if there's more than one race extant then surely there must be a huge number or maybe all non-africans are a single race? confused
