Well, that last paragraph is certainly out of nowhere. Weird that the article is called "Unfinished Business," when the author thinks we are ready to "halt ... natural selection in its tracks," whatever that could possibly mean.
I also don't see how the discovery of new restrictions on the directions evolution may take makes it any less materialist or any more purposeful of a process. I guess I don't really get what the point of this article was supposed to be, other than a broad history of Darwinism, with the field of economics loosely associated with it a couple of times.
