She was also Carl Sagan's first wife if I remember correctly.

But she has struck me as being a bit nuts earlier on anyway, with her odd ranting about capitalist ideas of biology, etc.

Addendum

From wikipedia

She does, however, hold a negative view of certain interpretations of Neo-Darwinism, excessively focused on inter-organismic competition, as she believes that history will ultimately judge them as comprising "a minor twentieth-century religious sect within the sprawling religious persuasion of Anglo-Saxon Biology." She also believes that proponents of the standard theory "wallow in their zoological, capitalistic, competitive, cost-benefit interpretation of Darwin - having mistaken him... Neo-Darwinism, which insists on [the slow accrual of mutations by gene-level natural selection], is in a complete funk."

^ Yeah, she's a crank.

So strange, she figured out an amazing idea for biology, and yet she's nuttier than a fruit cake.

  1. Otherwise intelligent people can make bad arguments. Any philosophy class will have you analyzing the basic logical errors of the greats. Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Aquinas etc all made bad arguments at some point.

  2. Scientific theories are separate from the people that introduced them.
