Dobzhansky Reading Group
The student-led reading group taking on Dobzhansky’s Genetics and the Origin of Species meets again today at 3:30 in Hutchison 486A to discuss chapters 3 on “Mutation as a Basis for Race and Specific Differences”.
Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini Reading Group
Next week, the joint Biology/Philosophy reading group will wrap up discussion of Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini’s “What Darwin Got Wrong.” We’ll be discussing the final two chapters on Tuesday May 11th at 6PM at Java’s Cafe on Gibbs St., adjacent to the Eastman Theater. These chapters, which were written primarily by Fodor, are somewhat more engaging (though perhaps no more sensical) than the earlier chapters penned primarily by Piattelli-Palmarini.
