Don't slight the entire field of evolutionary biology just because you don't like what you read in a tabloid newspaper. I hope you realize that there's usually a bit more to these stories than you'll find in a four-paragraph newsprint blurb.

Yeah, I know. I meant to say that the article is not very convincing and thus that it (arguably) shouldn't deserve much attention. I feel the same way about most science articles in the mainstream press.
Unlike all the other hard sciences I know, it is very hard to demonstrate or contradict anything in evolutionary biology. Thus, one should be especially careful when reading about it.

Point of interest: The Telegraph is not a tabloid but a broadsheet.

Whatever the case, it is a rag.
