Sometimes a "war on science" is perfectly acceptable.
//Nicholas Wade, a British-born science reporter and editor for more than 30 years with The New York Times, is no longer with the newspaper — just days after the release of his latest book, in which he depicts blacks with roots in sub-Saharan Africa as genetically less adapted to modern life than whites and Asians.//
Nicholas Wade is kind of big name in science writing.
I think his thesis is wrong, because I think that human beings stopped evolving when they began to control the environment rather than vice versa, but as I explained in a law review article I co-wrote 30 years ago, the answer to "bad science" is "more science" not "restrict science."
