Edge: online debate between Steven Pinker and Elizabeth Spelke

Edge hosts a debate on THE SCIENCE OF GENDER AND SCIENCE between Steven Pinker and Elizabeth Spelke, a Harvard psychologist who has been named one of America's Best in Science and Medicine.

Well worth reading, because both scientists are given time to carefully explain their positions, along with PowerPoint slides that you can see on the web.

I've recently updated the blog entry of mine that you mentioned, with quite different results! Take a look: http://lee.org/blog/archives/2005/02/12/dragon-naturallyspeaking-8/
