[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1034365, member: 2189"] Interesting read. Goes along with a piece penned by the late [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Jay_Gould"][COLOR=#ff0000]Stephan Jay Gould[/COLOR][/URL] circa 1997' in defense of Peter Kropotkin entitled [URL="http://www.marxists.org/subject/science/essays/kropotkin.htm"][COLOR=#ff0000]"Kropotkin Was No Crackpot"[/COLOR][/URL] in that in defense of evolution, Kropotkin in opposition of the social Darwinists led by the detestable Thomas Huxley and his "gladiatorial" view of evolution, juxtaposed that evolution was driven more by mutual aid and cooperation. Where Gould's piece got even more insightful was expressing the difference in the political and social norms both men came from and how this would strongly influence the opinions offered by both. Thanks for the link Cheryl as this offers an interesting companion piece to Gould's. [/QUOTE]
