Max Blair Wrote:What is your opinion of the AWF Edwards 2003 Challenge to Lewontin, that gives us the adage "Lewontin's Fallacy?" My friend thinks Edwards thoroughly discredits Lewontin.Plenty of people have rejected Edwards position re Lewontin as well. I will also note that Edwards is a pupil of Ronald Fisher, a well known eugenicist and racist. He was also a scientist who sold himself to the tobacco corporations to produce studies saying tobacco did not cause cancer. Also noted is Debretts entry for Edwards where they note in their official biography of him that he was a member of the Eugenics Society. Birds of a feather....
