Evolutionary psychologists go to some lengths to insist that, unlike exponents of earlier versions of social Darwinism, they are not genetic determinists, or as they sometimes put it, nativists. Rather, they argue that the nature/nurture dichotomy is a fallacious one. Instead, they seek to account for what they believe to be universals in terms of a version of Darwinian theory - a version which in practice owes more to Dawkins reductive fundamentalism than it does to Darwin s own more pluralistic and observation-rich insights.

The general result for the nuclear charge radius and the Darwin-Foldy contribution for a nucleus with arbitrary spin was obtained in [9]. It was shown there that one may write a universal formula for the sum of these contributions irrespective of the spin of the nucleus if the nuclear charge radius is defined with the help of the same form factor for any spin. However, for historic reasons, the definitions of the nuclear charge radius are not universal, and respective formulae have different appearances for different spins. We will discuss here only the most interesting cases of the spin zero and spin one nuclei.

Fortunately we shall live on regardless of which idea describes our universe and our story of evolution. We survived Joshua s flat world, Ptolomy s circles, Newton s attractive force, Lamarck and Darwin. Ideas do not change the cosmos, they only change the way we look at it. Yet the challenge remains to find what guides all of it, space, time, forces, chemistry, and life.
