It would appear to me that this topic is highly relevant to the museum
world, and therefore to the Museum-L. 


I would also recommend reading this article by Jonathan Marks on the
topic of human evolution and museums: 
http://www.templeton.org/brainmindemergence/press-chron19981204.asp


One final thought, I could not help but notice that Ms. Rookis works at
an institution dedicated to Health Sciences. Would she argue that
Darwinian evolution plays no role whatsoever in the work that goes on
there?


Sincerely,

Dirk Van Tuerenhout
Curator of anthropology
Houston Museum of Natural Science

still, I maintain even my contributions to this thread are inappropriate
for Museum-L, but since only one side of the story is given.... 

when you move past museum issues and into ideology of anything not
directly related to the profession, go to another discussion list or
have a private email exchange, lest there be chaos. i.e. anyone care to
disagree that sitcom television is dead? anyone?

ironically, there are some folks on this discussion list that are not
evolving to a higher professional life form. 

thanks to those that gave off-list support and advised I return to
ignoring/deleting the too predictable and extraneous noise machines.

cheers,
Stefanie

The Woodstock of Evolution

The World Summit on Evolution, held in the Galapagos
Islands, revealed a science rich in history and
tradition, data and theory, as well as controversy and
debate.
