Devolution

According to Georgia's state superintendent of schools evolution is just a "buzzword." Darwin just flipped over in his grave. How did this woman get elected school superintendent of a whole state? Shouldn't you have to be, er, educated, to hold a position like that?

Kathy Cox wants to replace "evolution" with "biological changes over time." Someone ought to replace her.

Darwin first published The Origin of the Species in 1859. Lamarck wrote his preliminary thoughts on the subject as early as 1801.

So how exactly is evolution a "buzzword"?
