@import "/css/default.css"; Home Your account Current issue Archives ... Email to a friend Feature Darwinian Fundamentalism By Stephen Jay Gould The Origin of Species In this light, especially given history's tendency to recycle great issues, I am amused by an irony that has recently ensnared evolutionary theory. A movement of strict constructionism, a self-styled form of Darwinian fundamentalism, has risen to some prominence in a variety of fields, from the English biological heartland of John Maynard Smith to the uncompromising ideology (albeit in graceful prose) of his compatriot Richard Dawkins, to the equally narrow and more ponderous writing of the American philosopher Daniel Dennett (who entitled his latest book Darwin's Dangerous Idea Moreover, a larger group of strict constructionists are now engaged in an almost mordantly self-conscious effort to "revolutionize" the study of human behavior along a Darwinian straight and narrow under the name of "evolutionary psychology." Some of these ideas have filtered into the general press, but the uniting theme of Darwinian fundamentalism has not been adequately stressed or identified. Professionals, on the other hand, are well aware of the connections. My colleague Niles Eldredge, for example, speaks of this coordinated movement as Ultra-Darwinism in his recent book, Reinventing Darwin Amid the variety of their subject matter, the ultra-Darwinists share a conviction that natural selection regulates everything of any importance in evolution, and that adaptation emerges as a universal result and ultimate test of selection's ubiquity.

Steven Gould, Jumper (Starscape, 2002) A boy teleports... "jumps"... first, in times of stress; later, he learns to control it. Used to finding his escape in books, 'jumping' away from an abusive home seems a foregone conclusion. It's an interesting premise. I was interested, so I asked to review the book. Then I read it... The protagonist of the story, seventeen year old Davy, is an incongruously intelligent whiner who cries three times in the first four pages, four times by page ten. Wonder what will happen next, turn the page, and you can bet it will be soaked with Davy's tears. The plot quickly becomes an exercise in wondering whether moisture will be averted... tune in next chapter, to see whether Davy will cry... or... merely well up with tears... It's odd... The boy is considering the possibility of his own "irrational psychosis" by page 22. Later, our hero of seventeen is tossing around terms like "debt relief". Somewhat later, the author is explaining what a yarmulke is. Instead of a tale that will 'please young and old alike', it's a book that could only be written for adults, lapses into a pedantry that some people reserve for children, and is bound to satisfy neither. By then, Davy has cried three more times. A fellow reviewer once said of a female character in C.S. Lewis'

The Mismeasures of Gould By J. Philippe Rushton (Originally published in The National Review , September 15, 1997) Mr. Rushton is professor of psychology at the University of Western Ontario in London. This article is adapted from his review in the referred academic journal Personality and Individual Differences, Vol. 23, pp. 169-180. The complete article can be found here. ``[Steven Jay] Gould occupies a rather curious position, particularly on his side of the Atlantic. Because of the excellence of his essays, he has come to be seen by non-biologists as the pre-eminent evolutionary theorist. In contrast, the evolutionary biologists with whom I have discussed his work tend to see him as a man whose ideas are so confused as to be hardly worth bothering with, but as one who should not be publicly criticized because he is at least on our side against the creationists.'' YEP, that's the Steven Jay Gould Harvard paleontologist, best-selling science popularizer, Natural History magazine columnist, and media superstar in the opinion of John Maynard Smith, one of the founders of modern evolutionary theory. Smith's skepticism about Gould is pervasive among his peers. Daniel Dennett's brilliant 1995 book, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, was largely devoted to dispelling Gouldian misinformation. John Alcock, author of standard animal-behavior textbooks, recently described Gould as ``consistently employing the same limited set of debating techniques and stylistic devices . . . while simply ignoring evidence to the contrary.''

Steven Jay Gould: (1941-2002) Distinguished ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and man of letters. Gould believed that natural science ultimately was informed by multiple or 'plural' empirical traditions, and that accident and contingency has a much a hand in making us what we are than a monomaniacal reliance on the metaphors of natural selection. Sensible stuff of course unless you have a lucrative 'revolution' to run. Thus Gould was excoriated, excommunicated, and in their dreams burned alive by Darwinian fundamentalists such as Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker , and Tooby-Cosmides who felt that at least that had true religion if not truely good writing skills.

Patricia Beenan lives in New Galveston, one of the new floating cities that developed following the "Deluge", when the sea-level rose by a hundred feet. Technology has become a little more environmentally friendly, but people haven't. She finds something very unpleasant under the water, and some very unpleasant people try to find her. It's a simple but exciting thriller and a good read. I enjoyed the very convincing underwater descriptions and am now quietly confident that I could handle a mini-submarine.

SCIENCE FICTION BOOK SELECTION JUMPER by STEVEN GOULD Jumper (1992) An ALA Notable Book of the Year Book club edition hardcover - 344 pages cover art by Romas From the inside cover: Davy can teleport. He first discovers his talent during a savage beating delivered by his abusive father, when Davy jumps instantaneously to the safest place he knows, his small-town public library. As his mother did so many years before, Davy vows never to go home again. Instead he sets off young and inexperienced, for New York City. Davy gradually learns to use and control his powers, first for sheer survival in an environment more violent and complex than he ever imagined. But mere survival is not enough for Davy. He wants to know if there are other people like him. He needs to know if his mother disappeared so completely from his life because she, too, could Jump. And as he searches for a trace of anyone else with powers like his own, he learns to use his abilities for more than escape and theft. A young man with nothing to lose, and the ability to go anyplace he wants, can help a lot of people. But he can also make a lot of trouble, and sooner or later trouble is going to come looking for him. The one way Davy can think of to locate others who can Jump is to make himself visible to them, but if he does, the police will surely find him too.

SCIENCE FICTION BOOK SELECTION BLIND WAVES by STEVEN GOULD Blind Waves (2000) Published by Tor Science Fiction paperback - 350 pages cover art by Jim Burns From the back cover of the paperback: In a world where hundreds of millions of people have been displaced from their homes by the Deluge a hundred-foot rise in sea level caused by melting ice caps Patricia Beenan is lucky. She is still an American citizen, with the right to live on the continent, unlike so many "wetfoots" whose homes lie deep under the waves. Patricia's father chose to live on the floating city of New Galveston, instead of moving inland. The family went into the underwater salvage business. Now it's Patricia's business, and her city. She's a wealthy woman, on the City Council, well known to the local INS commander and the New Galveston police. But none of that will help her when she stumbles across a recently sunken freighter that has dozens of bodies chained up in its hold, and clear evidence that it had been fired upon by a U.S. government ship.

55. Steven J. Gould nature. For gould, I had a problem coming up with something scientific that I knew a lot about. anemones. But more on the stylist gould. http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~jvg23/gould.html

The habits of clownfish evidence the benefits of a symbiotic relationship. Clownfish are never found in nature without an anemone. They are protected by the anemone with which they live. When threatened, they dive among its tentacles from which most other fishes remain distant. Brightly colored slow clownfish often become the prey of larger fish when they are removed from their hosts. The presence of an anemone is also essential to reproduction of the fish. Their eggs are laid beneath the "oral" opening (which also functions as a place to discharge waste) of the anemone, where they are tended to by the male. Aquarists add much knowledge of this symbiosis. Brian Mapstone, an aquarium enthusiast, has seen the clownfish bring food to their anemones. The normal diet of clownfish is small plants and animals that live in the water above the anemone, or algae that grow around it. In nature, they do not often encounter large particles of food, so they eat their food where it is found. But when the fish are fed large morsels of food in an aquarium, the clownfish, unable to eat the piece immediately, takes it home for later consumption. This behavior is typical of predators that obtain food in large amounts. In this case, the territory consumes the food. My Commentary.

56. Steven Gould, Blind Waves steven gould, Blind Waves (Tor, 2000). If you haven t read anything by steven gould, this would be an excellent book to start with. http://www.rambles.net/gould_waves.html

Steven Gould, Blind Waves (Tor, 2000) The greenhouse effect has warmed the atmosphere. The Antarctic ice cap has melted substantially, the release of the weight has set off volcanoes there, and one of the large ice shelves slid off the continent. The ocean level has risen 100 feet. Blind Waves is a novel of the relatively near future, perhaps 50-150 years or so ahead. Stephen Gould has written one of the best science fiction novels I've read recently. I was very sorry when it ended, and plan on re-reading it soon! His world and his characters are living, complex and interesting, and the combination of the thriller plot and the budding romance of the two main characters is very satisfying. Gould has explored the ways in which the rising ocean levels could impact a culture that's recognizably ours, and how it could change in response. Although some of the ways are unexpected, none were implausible. Much of the world's population lives within 100 feet of sea level, and the displacement this rise caused affected social, economic and political structures profoundly. I'll be re-reading this book partly to pay more attention to the world in which it takes place; this time, I grew distracted by the plot and people. The plot is very exciting, involving underwater salvage, a mysterious sinking of a ship, rogue governmental officials (I don't think that's giving too much away), and a great deal about sonar and other underwater tracking options. The book begins with a chase, which lasted a bit too long for my tastes, although other elements of the world and the characters were brought in. I hope that those who also may feel it's a bit of a slow start (although tense) will stick with the story; it gets more engaging soon.

close window Steven Jay Gould: Understanding Evolution Transcript: Q: Why do we humans have a hard time understanding, and sometimes accepting, evolution? What, in your opinion, is the major stumbling block? A: Deep time is hard to grasp. I don't know that it or any one thing could be called "the" major stumbling block. The major stumbling block is that we're not quite ready, because we live in a veil of tears, and we know that bad things happen to good people. We're still desperate, many of us, to find factual answers out there that would make us feel better in a psychological sense about some of the cruel things that don't make sense in life. And that's a very hard one to get through, I think. Once you come to terms with the recognition that the answers to moral questions aren't out there in nature, and you shouldn't be seeking them there, you have to seek them inside yourself and that is the proper role of religion and humanities then it ceases to worry. But it does worry many people. And since it does, there are a whole set of issues that then become very hard to accept, one of which is that most organisms are bacteria. And there isn't a linear progressive pattern that pervades evolution leading up to humans. Another is that humans are a tiny little twig representing one species among so many millions on this enormous arborescent tree of life. And a third is what we're talking about now, that this tiny little twig of

Now, with coastlines drastically altered by the infamous Deluge, the entire sociopolitical landscape of the world has altered as well. Even many U.S. citizens, whose former homes now lie beneath the waves, have found their citizenship status changed, as living on the continent is no longer a right granted to all. Patricia Beenan is a well-to-do citizen of the floating city of New Galveston, who runs a salvage operation in the Gulf, helping oil companies and the like recover hazardous materials from the ruins of once-coastal cities now on the sea floor. On one such operation, Patricia discovers the wreckage of a ship which has clearly been very recently sunk, and the holds of which contain, to her horror, dozens of bloated corpses. What's more, it is apparent that the types of shells used to down the vessel are standard INS ordnance (in this waterlogged dystopia, the Immigration Service has become a highly powerful arm of the American military). Who are these unfortunate people, and why would our government have committed such an atrocity, if in fact they did?
