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 early 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)
