-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Stephen Jay Gould is dead Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 10:53:50 -0400 From: Richard Levins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Science for the People Discussion List<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the article on Stephen Jay Gould. The only thing I want to add is that Steve was a Marxist and we were colleagues at the New York Marxist School as well as at Harvard. His challenging of creationism and biological reductionism as well as his interest in the unevenness of evolution and the interpenetration of adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary change form a coherent whole coming from his political/philosophical stance. I'll miss him. Dick Levins
