Evolutionist scientists "of the time"
User:AutoFire in this edit changed the sentence
| “ | Evolutionist scientists described him as "the closest transitional link to man". | ” |
to
| “ | Evolutionist scientists of the time described him as "the closest transitional link to man". | ” |
I think this change is unnecessary. For example when we talk about the racists of the mid-twentieth century, we do not call them "racists of the time", or when we talk about terrorists, we do not say "terrorists of the time killed many people". A scientist who believe in evolution is an evolutionist scientist, no matter past or present. Hence I am reverting his edit. --Dendronicus 09:59, 2 August 2008 (EDT)
