Letter: Who's afraid of a debate on Darwin?

ONLY when people realise their true place in the natural world will they be fit to face Earth's desperate environmental problems.

How many school-leavers are familiar with the abundant fossil record for human evolution, not to mention the principles of Darwin's natural selection?
