"Devolution"- What is That?
-
Oh my. Now the uproar is over Dr. Michael Behe's use of the word "devolves" in his new book "Darwin Devolves".
First, a little history check- the 1970's. It was 1973, in Akron, OH, a new wave/ alternative band formed. That band was called Devo. Guess what "Devo" referred to? De-evolution or devolution. It, in turn, was a reference to our alleged decline and "regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society" (Wikipedia).
You can google the word and you will see it is defined as "evolutionary degeneration".
