In fact, the campus remains home to a large corps of disillusioned liberals with an identity crisis, for opposing any single liberal cause is enough to be labeled a hard-nosed conservative by much of the radical left. The Guide is correct about one thing: There is room for extensive and even radical debate about controversial issues on campus. Unfortunately, the way in which it presents these issues damages any hope of rational debate.

...different directions. Reich's team measured how the evolutionary clock varied across chromosomes in the different species. To their surprise, they deduced that chimps and humans split from a common ancestor no more than 6.3 million years ago and probably less than 5.4 million years ago. If they're correct, several hominid species now considered to be among our earliest ancestors--Sahelanthropus tchadensis (7 million years old), Orrorin tugenensis (about 6 million years old) and Ardipithecus kadabba (5.2 to 5.7 million years old)--may have to be re-evaluated...
