Shots Fired, but Not Really

On The Gist, no matter how well the economy goes, pundits can always tell a scary story. What do we get wrong about Darwinism? Evolutionary ornithologist Richard O. Prum says the theory was distorted by Victorian prudes. He explains why a closer look at bird sex shows us what's really going on with adaptation and natural selection. Prum's book is The Evolution of Beauty. In the Spiel, yes, "unindictable" would mean the president could commit any crime he wants, even the colorful ones. But let's not get carried away.
