I'm no fan of Baldwan, (except for Hunt for Red October), but if he says 2+2=4, he is right regardless.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Is there a leftist cause Alec Baldwin doesn't support?
Hosting a documentary is Leftist?? (NOT that I'm a Baldwin fan but if Canada bombed the Baldwins I would support a genocidal war with them after initiating Opertaion Get Behind the Darkies.)

I liked the show, its been 8-10 years since Ive had any anthropology, so some of the info was new to me. I did feel like they short changed the ending. It seemed like they rushed it.

I wanted to see a little more about the earliest Homo Sapiens. Our species is not that old, and look at all the variety we come in. Wether its the black straight hair of people from Asia, to the green/blue eyes of white folks, the tall thin Africans, so forth. Those changes came about very rapidly.

So evolution is a leftist theory?

Technically, because all the fundamentalists are right wingers, (gimme those 19th century values and economics), and evolution is a well supported theory which allows for among other things atheism, makes people like Falwell ill, which is a good enough cause in itself. :twisted:
