Now this is what I'm talking about when I argue that we must to "teach the controvery" (all of them, really) when we present the essentials of biological science to those in undergraduate programs.
In this diavlog, Roughgarden puts Wright on the defensive regarding selfish genes, sexual selection, and a number of other topics, including the joys of mating versus childrearing. She repeatedly upbraids those who do research without first clearly defining their alternative hypotheses. Wright, for his part, puts up a fairly good defense for someone who doesn't have a Ph.D. in biology.
