Are the article's quotes and comments about Wolfe's treatment of Darwin accurate?
I'm not a big Chomsky fan. On the other hand, using Everett as an attack on Chomsky doesn't work; Everett is a bit sketchy and one language does not provide a counter example.
But I admit I haven't studied Chomsky in detail. I do know a fair bit about Darwin, though, and if this is accurate, Wolfe's whole book can be discarded without fear of missing anything.
