She's an evolutionary biologist and I am most certainly not, but it does seem like a petty thing to gripe about.
If we were to back in a time machine and fetch Henry Ford or Walt Disney, like she does in her editorial with Darwin, they'd be just as flabbergasted at robots on the assembly line or a computer-generated donkey talking to an ogre as Darwin would be with a double-helix.
I know I know, automobile production isn't called Fordism and animation isn't called Disneyism, but still.
Really though, good luck to her and her idea. What's the difference?
