Editor's Note

This debate's subject may seem, at first glance, offensive. But the dialogue raises interesting questions about the history, nature, and culture of the human species, the nature of evidence, and the attitudes of scientists as they approach subjects that some regard as taboo. The discussion is quite different in format from HMS Beagle's other debates.

This debate was organized by, and was originally published on, the Science Channel, which brings daily news, reviews, and debates in science, research, and technology. Another free service from Elsevier Science. Compilation © 1998 Elsevier Science BV. Reprinted with permission.
