This is a well writing article as well as extremely entertaining. To think that Darwin's On the Origin of Species was published in 1859 and the tenets widely accepted in his life time! You have done a good job of summarizing the Nature fakers controversy. (Today we would never ascribe all animal behavior to "instinct".) Excellent work!
I have done some minor copy editing. Feel free to revert any errors.

I have a problem with the introduction. In "... argued as to the veracity of their examples ...", "as to" doesn't tell us whether they argued for or against. I infer from what seems most reasonable to me that they argued for. If so, then a simpler statement would be better: "defended the veracity...", for instance. For GA, this needs fixing. I hope someone knowledgeable will do it. Zaslav ( talk)
