Evolution

Sir, — This has reference to the editorial, "Humankind and evolution" (April 20). Such scientific inputs are necessary in the present day scenario when obscurantist opinions of various hues are constricting an objective analysis of evolution.

Sir, — Textbooks should clearly say that scientific theories are subject to change as new evidence emerges, and always carry an element of doubt.

Vinay Ribeiro,
Houston, Texas, U.S.
