Everyone is afraid of Darwin

I sent a letter to Margaret Wente of the Globe and Mail. This was the article in question. An exposition at the Royal Ontario Museum on Darwin could not find corporate sponsorship. Wente concluded that new scientific findings on the biological bases of sex, race and character difference were as offensive to liberal dogmas as evolution is to the creationists.

Dear Mrs Wente:
Your article on Darwin in this Saturday’s Globe was well taken. The implications of modern research for notions of equality, race, intelligence, character and crime are extremely challenging for those who have believed that only the structures of society prevent the achievement of equality, and engender racism/sexism/nationalism.
