    Darwin Day in America : How Our Politics and Culture Have Been Dehumanized in the Name of Science. (2007)
    New York :ISI Books,
    Details
    Keywords: Science--Social aspects--United States. ; Electronic books.
    Description / Table of Contents: At the dawn of the last century, leading scientists and politicians giddily predicted that science--especially Darwinian biology--would supply solutions to all the intractable problems of American society, from crime to poverty to sexual maladjustment. Instead, politics and culture were dehumanized as scientific experts began treating human beings as little more than animals or machines. In criminal justice, these experts denied the existence of free will and proposed replacing punishment with invasive "cures" such as the lobotomy. In welfare, they proposed eliminating the poor by sterilizing those deemed biologically unfit. In business, they urged the selection of workers based on racist theories of human evolution and the development of advertising methods to more effectively manipulate consumer behavior. In sex education, they advocated creating a new sexual morality based on "normal mammalian behavior" without regard to longstanding ethical and religious imperatives. Based on extensive research with primary sources and archival materials, John G. West's captivating Darwin Day in America tells the story of how American public policy has been corrupted by scientistic ideology. Marshaling fascinating anecdotes and damning quotations, West's narrative explores the far-reaching consequences for society when scientists and politicians deny the essential differences between human beings and the rest of nature. It also exposes the disastrous results that ensue when experts claiming to speak for science turn out to be wrong. West concludes with a powerful plea for the restoration of democratic accountability in an age of experts.

    Complex patterns of actin molecular evolution in the red alga Stylonema alsidii (Stylonematophyceae, Rhodophyta) (2009)
    In:  EPIC3Phycological Research, 57, 5965, 57, 7 p.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-17
    Description: The Stylonematophyceae is an early diverging red algalclass that contains organisms in which sexual reproductionhas not been reported. Previous studies havehypothesized a single copy of the actin gene in thisclass. Amplification of the actin gene in members of theStylonematophyceae, including several isolates of Stylonemaalsidii, reveals a more complex evolutionaryhistory. The data support independent gene duplicationsin Goniotrichopsis reniformis and Stylonemaalsidii. Three of the seven isolates of S. alsidii had threecopies of actin. Analyses indicate that all copies arefunctional and not pseudogenes. Due to our lack ofknowledge of the ploidy level in Stylonema and theasexual nature of these organisms, an ancient changein ploidy level, producing diploid or even triploid organisms,cannot be ruled out to explain two copies of actinwithin these organisms. Within Stylonema alsidii two ofthe actin copies (Groups 1 and 2) show similar levels ofvariation; p-distances and the number of synonymousand non-synonymous sites are roughly the same. Yet thechanges are distributed differently. One group showedlittle shared variation among the samples, mutationstherefore represent autoapomorphies, while variation inthe other group is usually shared among samples(parsimony-informative). Variation in the other group isusually shared among samples (parsimony-informative).A third group of actin genes also observed in S. alsidiiare highly divergent from the other two copies, yet theymaintain all of the signatures of functional proteins.Our data reveal a complex evolutionary history of theactin gene in these species and highlight the lack ofknowledge into the basic biology (ploidy level, life cyclecharacteristics) of this class.
