Yaïr: When paths between feminism and evolutionary biology have crossed, interesting new issues and questions have emerged: Does the discovery of new data ignored by male scientists for decades and elaboration of new scenarios for old data by women scientists mean that male scientists will not make similar mistakes in the future now that they are aware of the possibility for androcentric bias? Or does the gender of the scientist influence the sorts of questions asked, the methods of observation, and theories and conclusions drawn from the data? Is it possible to be both a feminist and a sociobiologist (as opposed to a woman who is also a behavioral ecologist/evolutionary biologist)?
