The Form of an Obsession... "'Evolutionary speculation constitutes a kind of metascience, which has the same intellectual fascination for some biologists that metaphysical speculation possessed for medieval scholastics. It can be considered to be a relatively harmless habit, like eating peanuts, unless it assume the form of an obsession; then it becomes a vice.'
