Remeber, this is a BLP[edit]

I've removed the section on David Pilbeam's Deanship and instead included a shorter paragraph in the main section of the article. I feel this makes the article a bit more balanced. I've also cited the Harvard Crimson. The old section used loaded phrases, such as, "was marred by," and was unsourced. -Thucydides411 (talk) 20:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

American Scientist quote[edit]

There's an oft-quoted paragraph used by creationists suggesting that Dr. Pilbeam portrayed the field of human evolution as quackery, usually sourced to the American Scientist. Any veracity to this?52.119.105.14 (talk) 23:04, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
