    Extractions: Photo from: University of Michigan Windows to the Universe Perhaps more than any other contemporary American scientist Stephen Jay Gould has presented the modes, implications, benefits, and shortcomings of science to a literate public. As an inventive and productive scholar he has shaped and participated in crucial debates of the biological and geological sciences, particularly with regard to the theory of evolution, the interpretation of fossil evidence, and the meaning of diversity and change in biology. As the readership for his nearly twenty books and hundreds of essays, reviews, and articles has grown he has become one of the most popular and well-known writers and lecturers on scientific topics. He has distinguished himself by elaborating his critique of contemporary evolutionary theory via an eclectic range of discourse, deriving inspiration from his personal reflections across an astonishing array of historical and humanistic disciplines, popular culture, and sports. Gould's empirical field studies have concentrated on fossil mollusks and snails found in Bermuda. His first major monographic work, Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977), treated the theory of recapitulation in evolutionary biology. His second

    Extractions: "Staggering our certainties" about humanity's place at the top of the heap By SCOTT ROSENBERG In the popular mind, Darwin's great discovery was that apes were our ancestors. To Stephen Jay Gould, that's not the half of it. The Darwinian ideas that people really have a hard time embracing, he maintains, are the implications of natural selection a theory that explains the development of Homo sapiens without reference to any sort of divine plan or vision of progress. Woven through much of Gould's writing, and at the heart of his new "Full House," is an insistent demand that we "cash out" the deepest implications of Darwin's insights and begin to comprehend that our species, far from being the pinnacle of some inevitable trend in nature toward greater complexity, is simply a tiny accident occurring on a minor side-branch of the evolutionary tree. In his 1991 "Wonderful Life," which is a sort of companion to "Full House," Gould used the example of the Cambrian explosion of species found in the fossils of the Burgess Shale to demonstrate that "contingency" accident, happenstance, the particular way that events unfold plays a central role in determining the fate of species. Rewind the tape of events to play evolution out once more, Gould argues, and the odds are against anything like Homo sapiens developing. We're here because we're here not because we had to be here.

17. Misbehavior
    In The Boston Review, John Alcock, professor of biology at Arizona State University, provides a detailed look at gould's approach to adaptationism.  
    http://bostonreview.mit.edu/BR25.2/alcock.html
    
    Extractions: How Stephen Jay Gould is wrong about evolution. John Alcock Stephen Jay Gould is arguably the most widely read biologist in America and our unofficial "evolutionist laureate," according to the editors of Natural History In reality, however, many evolutionists believe that Gould has exercised his considerable skills as an essayist to misinform the public about research in evolutionary biology. At regular intervals over 25 years, Gould has used Natural History as a forum for attacking human sociobiology, and, more broadly, the adaptationist or selectionist approach in evolutionary biology, because that methodology is the foundation for sociobiological investigation. Although Gould’s polemical attacks have earned him public support as an "articulate (and rightly feared) enemy of sociobiological and hereditarian excesses," His pronouncements on the adaptationist approach have been dissected and dismissed by a host of leading evolutionists. But because Gould is so hostile to human sociobiology, he has continued to try to undercut the selectionist philosophy that underlies that field by criticizing its application no matter what species is under study. For example, in "Only His Wings Remained," he launches a sweeping critique of adaptationist hypotheses in general:

18. Stephen Jay Gould - (1941 - 2002)
    Life of prominent evolutionary biologist stephen jay gould.  
    http://www.popular-science.net/news/gould.html
    
    Extractions: Stephen Jay Gould, Harvard's outspoken and often controversial paleontologist whose groundbreaking work on evolutionary theory - coupled with his award-winning writings - brought an expanded world of science to thousands of readers, died this morning in Manhattan of metastasized lung cancer. He was 60. Gould, along with Niles Eldredge, a paleontologist at the New York's Museum of Natural History, developed an evolutionary theory called "punctuated equilibrium," where long periods of evolutionary stability are broken by shorter spurts of evolutionary change, perhaps sparked by external events such as climate change or the impact of a comet. The theory contrasts with more traditional evolutionists, who believe evolution is a slow, steady process occurring at a nearly constant rate. Gould, the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology, spent his professional career at Harvard. He wrote widely on topics ranging from baseball to the Piltdown Man hoax to the Sept. 11 tragedy. He appeared on the cover of Newsweek in 1982 and has been called by colleagues "the bulldog of evolutionary biology" for his outspoken advocacy of his views.

    Extractions: Browse the Online NewsHour's science coverage or Gergen Dialogues Gould's final essay for Natural History of a twenty-seven-year series. DAVID GERGEN, : Steve, you’ve written this very challenging book about evolution, challenging the notions that are in our heads. Maybe we ought to start with what the conventional notion is about evolution. STEPHEN JAY GOULD, Author, Full House : The conventional view is more a result of what western culture makes us want to think and what actually happened in the history of life. Darwin’s theory in natural selection doesn’t make any reference to any notion of progress, or development or increasing complexity. It’s only a theory about adaptation to changing environments. There are as many ways to adapt to local environments by becoming less complex is by getting more complex, but for reasons of our history and our biases and our preferences, we very much want to spin doctor that theory and make it appear as though the history of life is a predictable rise to increasing complexity and progress I think so that we can validate ourselves as the crown of creation.

    http://prelectur.stanford.edu/lecturers/gould/excerpts/
    
    Extractions: 1) Evolutionary Biology Today "Evolutionary biology has been severely hampered by a speculative style of argument that records anatomy and ecology and then tries to construct historical or adaptive explanations for why this bone looked like that or why this creature lived here. These speculations have been charitably called "scenarios"; they are often more contemptuously, and rightly, labeled "stories" (or "just-so stories" if they rely on the fallacious assumption that everything exists for a purpose). Scientists know that these tales are stories; unfortunately, they are presented in the professional literature where they are taken too seriously and literally. Then they become "facts" and enter the popular literature, often in such socially dubious form as the ancestral killer ape who absolves us from responsibility for our current nastiness, or as the "innate" male dominance that justifies cultural sexism as the mark of nature."
