ID in Europe
Yes, there is scope for a paragraph or two on the ID movement in Europe, though it is mostly associated with the United States. However, let's have a look at the content;

The Intelligent Design movement is relatively unknown in Europe except through media reports on the situation in the US. Fine.

However, a few researchers are working on theories that may be seen to be complementary to ID. These include, in France, in the field of palaeontology, the fr:Inside Story theory of the origin of man.

Not so good.

From what I can make out from the brainfart on Inside Story, it's more Neo-Lamarckism than ID. It's still bullshit, just bullshit of a different flavour. The French have a thing about Lamarck because he was French, and France was the last place Lamarckism died out in the 1960s -- or so I thought. It would not surprise me if a few researchers ignored the basic principles of anthropology (especially if they contravened their political and/or moral views) and came up with this, but I know no more about it on it than what I have seen at Inside Story.

Besides which it seems irrelevent to ID. Dunc|&#9786; 14:45, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
