sixth sense—and finally "human evolution." Zuckerman
explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into
those fields of presumed biological science, like
extrasensory perception or the interpretation of man's

is possible – and where the ardent believer [in evolution]
is sometimes able to believe several contradictory things
at the same time. 18
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but

Besides all the technical evidence we have dealt with so
far, let us now for once, examine what kind of a supersti-
