...Nat Sci 4, "Natural Selection and Behavioral Biology," came out of nowhere to take second place this year, with an enrollment of 515. Stephen Gaulin, a section person in the course, said last week it provides general rules about daily life, and students take it because they want to know about evolution...
...student who asked not to be identified yesterday added another reason for taking the course: in the two years Nat Sci 4 has been offered, it has acquired a reputation as one of the easiest guts around, and fulfills Nat Sci requirements as well. "How much more can I ask?" he said...
Most of the other criticism against Davis stressed the racial implications of his articles. There was a reason for this, and even in retrospect a good one. It has to do with statements Davis had made linking genetics and heredity. Davis, who teaches Nat Sci 37, "Evolution, Genetics and Society," only goes halfway in a theory of biological determinism: He says there is no way to statistically prove difference in intelligence. But he has made pronouncements to the effect that the separation of gene pools of the races down through the years may cause genetic differences...
Professor of Zoology Edward O. Wilson's Biology I and Nat Sci 5 textbook, "Life on Earth," never quite made it to the top of the charts, but was at one time the second most popular basic biology textbook, used by most of the Ivy League. The most popular one, Wilson says, is too elementary and weak in its treatment of evolutionary theory...
