Pulitzer winner explores Dover case in 'Monkey Girl'

Christina Kauffman, of the York Dispatch, reports on the Pulitzer Prize-winner journalist and best-selling author Edward Humes' book about the Dover intelligent design trial, which was released to most major booksellers recently.

Humes interviewed several of the trial's key players for the nonfiction book, which classifies the events in Dover as a representation of the larger national conflict over what people believe about human origins.

Humes is no great friend to ID, saying, "People doubt or outright reject the theory of evolution but they don't even know what it is they've rejected. They just know they don't like it. Ultimately, the fallout for such thinking could be a national crisis; fewer young Americans are getting science degrees, and that doesn't bode well for the United States' progress against foreign competitors."
