Steven Jay Gould, RIP
Steven Jay Gould has died.
He lived with cancer for quite a long time.
I had some major disagreements with him about aspects of evolution, and I thought that much of his supposedly scientific critiques (like the Mismeasure of Man) were colored by his lifelong Marxism, but he was a hell of a baseball fan, and a great popular science writer. I hope he rests in peace.

One of a kind. Especially enjoyed the baseball.
The only real problem I ever had with his series of articles was the pounding on racism and intelligence tests (C'mon Steve! We got it the first 458 times!)
