Fun With Genetics
The Rev. Doctor loves the 19th Century. He loves its quaint ethnic stereotypes, its quack theories, and its excessive use of spats. Thus, he should be pleased to know that a eugenicist crackpot straight out of an HG Wells novella has been expounding on humanity's future over at the BBC. Beware of morlocks!
Also, PZ Myers explains that I, a human female, am not simply an ingeniously disguised chimpanzee. This comes as quite a relief. Also, is it just me, or does the Y chromosome look all sad and blobby? By contrast, the X appears to be a mighty shag rug of genetic potential. |

This is not too difficult to explain.
Google this guy, and you see:
Oliver Curry received his PhD in 2005 from the Government Department of the London School of Economics.
Economics. Not a science. Not really anything if you ask me. And as Buck loves to point out, these guys don't seem to actually need any data to just pull stuff right out of their ass and start writing.

Anybody else willing to anonymously admit that they assumed the science-y, intelligent, outspoken Rev. Dr. was male?
Sorry =(

Oh, never mind. I failed to read the tiny tiny type at the bottom of the post.
Still I'm sorry I made that assumption, and sorry that pretty much everyone else probably did as well. Even if it was right.
