* Stephen Jay Gould, "Ever since Darwin"
* Mahlon B. Hoagland, "The origins of life"

* Richard Lewontin, "The triple helix: Gene, organism and environment"
* Ernst Mayr, "This is biology"
* Richard Leakey & Roger Lewin, "People of the lake: Mankind and its beginnings"
Not the first intervention
The Radikal newspaper article reminded that the institute's intervention ke in 2009 to a feature article in Bilim ve Teknik, institution's popular science magazine, due to its content on the 200. anniversary of Charles Darwin, the founder of evolution theory.
Losing her job on that feature, the magazine's former editor-in-chief Çiğdem Atakuman told NTV: "We had prepared a feature in February [2009] on the upcoming anniversary of Charles Darwin. The science council interim president called me to his office and accused me of 'acting upon wrong intuitions'. I was then assigned to another department that had nothing to do with my work." (EKN)
