Doug Moe: UW prof helps debate evolve

If aÃ? publisher’s fall catalog is to be believed, a UW-Madison professor is on the verge of ending, once and for all, the lengthy, highly charged debate over the theory of evolution.

In October, W.W. Norton will bring out “The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution,” by UW-Madison genetics Professor Sean B. Carroll.

(Also mentioned in today’s column is 1975 UW grad John Schiller, one of the National Cancer Institute researchers credited with inventing the vaccine for HPV infections that was approved by the FDA last week.)
