Stephen Jay Gould... ReMeasured.




Hmmmm... at least according to Jason E. Lewis and others in the Public Library of Science, Biology journal, Stephen J. Gould's seminal critique of Morton is itself flawed.

This is a potential bummer for me, in that I've been using material from Mismeasure of Man for years.  On the other hand, this is a really cool example of how the relationship between history and science continues to evolve.  So to speak, of course.
