Did Humans Evolve? Not Us, Say Americans


This depresses me so much. The current issue of Science has a survey of various countries on their belief of evolution. "The acceptance of evolution is lower in the United States than in Japan or Europe, largely because of widespread fundamentalism and the politicization of science in the United States." The New York Times has this
graphic on the results. Are we really that dumb?
