‘Stephen Jay Gould: Bully and Boob’

March 18, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Sailer:

Natural History magazine, in which the late Stephen Jay Gould went on at such length for so many years, offers a perspective on Gould’s career by distinguished physical anthropologist Ian Tattersall that’s outwardly celebratory, but is actually a pretty funny account of Gould’s penchant for projection of all his own intellectual inadequacy, ethical shortcomings, and ethnic hostility on to the morally and technically superior scientists that he fulminated against. (Of course, you have to read it closely and all the way to the end to notice this.)
