Column: Suzan Mazur

During the Rockefeller symposium cocktail hour, Buick informed me I'd
upset the carefully delivered lecture of Harvard's Andrew Knoll ("it's
natural selection every step of the way") by introducing a question
from the floor about Stuart Newman's hypothesis that the 35 or so
modern animal phyla self-organized by the time of the Cambrian
explosion a half billion years ago without a genetic recipe (let's
hope Nature magazine's followup on Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the
Evolution Industry in the next issue corrects the reporting mistakes
of Science  and focuses on Altenberg's real headliner --Stuart
Newman).
Umm...what?

You don't honestly expect an evolution industry shill like you to accept
this.

Accept what, exactly? I've found a story at the Panda's Thumb that sheds
some light. Mazur is some kind of nut (agenda uncertain, but opposed to
natural selection being a major mechanism of evolution) who is intent on
coopting anyone she can, including real biologists. And she loves Stuart
Pivar.

I simply found the notion of an Evolution Industry to be probably the oddest
way of saying Atheistic Darwinists yet.  

Honorable mention, in another thread, for "or as I prefer,
Darwinoid". (Not self-applied.)
