Accept it: Talk about evolution needs to evolve

W atch your language! It’s a common message from Eugenie Scott, a physical anthropologist and director of the National Center for Science Education (www.ncseweb.org), an organization dedicated to promoting and defending the teaching of evolution in public schools. Scott recently spoke with Science News writer Susan Milius.

So you urge scientists not to say that they “believe” in evolution?!

EUGENIE SCOTT ‘If man evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys?’…That’s probably the second most common question I get on talk radio.
